In Chile the energy business understood has caused solar thermal for domestic applications is not subsidized, while maintaining support for hydrocarbons. It is easier to push price increases in residential electricity rates, which can not access direct contracts and are subject to pool generation system with intermediaries. The 2014 budget left out solar subsidies
In Chile, solar energy is strongly developing since 2012 (T able 1), adding more than 4000 MW of energy by mid-2021 and more than 40,000 MW in already appr oved and under construction projects [ 15 ].
