Casa Solar is a program of the Ministry of Energy that is executed by the Energy Sustainability Agency. Its objective is to promote the use of renewable energy through the installation of photovoltaic panels connected to the grid (without batteries). The photovoltaic panels will be connected to the electrical grid, so the energy generated that is not used can be injected into the system, obtaining an economic benefit for this.

This new version will provide co-financing for 3,500 new photovoltaic systems in homes, from Arica to Punta Arenas, and families will be able to access 1kWp or 2kWp systems – according to the technical evaluation of their roofs – with an estimated savings of $150,000 or $300,000 annually respectively.

In August 2022, people over 65 from the provinces of Cachapoal, Colchagua, and Cardenal Caro were integrated as new beneficiaries from the Program. The Casa Solar program has allowed the deployment of 102 solar PV installations; exceeding 2021 numbers (82 installations) and 2020 (42 installations), allowing households to save between 150 thousand and 300 thousand pesos per year.
