Can decentralised photovoltaic systems diffuse in Argentina?

In order to contribute to this discourse, this study employs the TIS framework to investigate the current prospects for the diffusion of decentralised photovoltaic systems in Argentina and, in doing so, develops a deeper understanding on a theoretical and empirical level of the context interaction dynamics.

Can PV energy be fed into the grid in Argentina?

In comparison to the global situation, the possibility to feed excess energy generated from PV systems into the grid in Argentina was only approved at national level relatively recently. Consequently, participants in this study rated interactions with distribution network operators as important.

Is solar photovoltaic the future of electricity generation in Argentina?

However, despite significant natural potential, solar photovoltaic still represents only a small share of Argentina's total electricity generation. Although this picture may look bleak, a wide range of market segments relating to decentralised photovoltaic generation in Argentina have developed.

How does a PV Tis work in Argentina?

In Argentina, pre-existing structures (chambers of commerce, energy cooperatives, state research and technological institutions (e.g., INTI)) act as a canvas on which the PV TIS can develop and expand. Energy cooperatives, for instance, have been key actors 33 in the energy system for almost a century.
