The solar energy industry is following the advances of the wind energy industry in Peru, where all stakeholders (communities, authorities, investors, and NGOs, among others) of the territory are accepting this clean energy as a road to reach sustainable development .
Finally, Figure 21 shows the development over time of the installed capacity in MW of solar PV energy in Peru. Figure 21. Evolution (years) of the solar photovoltaic installed capacity (MW) in Peru. Figure 21 shows that the first stage of solar PV energy in the country began in 2012, with strong growth from 2012 to 2023.
These regions are part of the Coast Desert of Peru, in which nine photovoltaic solar energy plants are in operation in 2024. Also noteworthy are the northern regions of the country (i.e., Tumbes and Piura and part of the Sechura desert), which, despite their attractive solar resources, have not been used to date.
A promising large-scale advance of clean energy has been achieved in Peru through the under-functioning of solar PV facilities, but the implementation of solar energy on a smaller scale still needs to be promoted in remote communities in rural areas [21, 51].
