When it comes to available resources and geography, Chile was the country in Latin America with the largest practical solar photovoltaic potential as of 2020, with a long-term achievable daily power output of more than five kilowatt hours per installed kilowatt peak. Bolivia and Mexico followed, with a practical solar PV potential of more than 4.9 kilowatt hours.
Figures simulate the conversion of available solar irradiation to electric power, considering conditions like air temperature and terrain horizon as well as utility plant configuration.
Achievable solar power output in Latin America and the Caribbean as of 2020, by country
(in kilowatt hours per installed kilowatt peak per day)
According to the source, the achievable power output refers to the long-term power output produced by a utility scale installation with fixed-mounted, monofacial crystalline silicon modules with optimum tilt.
