SEI wishes you a fun and safe Halloween!  Be safe and watch out for the little ones tonight. 

Reminder:  Get out and vote in the upcoming elections!  Not having representation supportive of renewable energy at the local, state, and federal levels of government is even scarier than solar zombies!  GO VOTE!!!!

Solar Energy International’s (SEI) Spanish Program has officially concluded it’s most recent training program in Atacama, Chile. Chilean President, Michelle Bachelet, US Ambassador to Chile,  Michael Hammer, Ministry of Energy Máximo Pacheco, Senator Isabel Allende, First Solar’s Chief Commercial Officer, Joseph Kishkill, and many other representatives from the private and public sector attended First Solar’s inauguration of what will become Latin America’s largest PV plant to be build in Chile’s Atacama Desert. 

An important aspect of First Solar’s initiatives in Chile has been the training of a local workforce in order to prepare young people for what promises to become one of the fastest growing PV markets in the world. Chile has recently approved a net metering law and over 6GW of PV which is now in the permitting process pipeline.  Most of this PV capacity is to be built in Atacama.
