A. Project description
A.1. Title of the JCM projectIntroduction of 1MW Rooftop Solar Power Systems to University
A.2. General description of project and applied technologies and/or measures
The proposed JCM project aims to reduce CO2 emissions in Chile by introducing a total of1049kW power conditioning systems and 992kW (for rated capacity of module panel) gridconnected solar photovoltaic (PV) modules on the roof top areas of university facilities in San
Joaquin, Casa Central Valparaiso, Sede Vina del Mar, and Santiago Vitacura. All of the PVsystems are connected to SIC grid.
The PV systems are connected to an internal grid of each campus, which are replaced gridelectricity mostly derived from fossil-fuel and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions reductionin Chile. Most of electricity generated by the solar PV systems is self-consumed in each campus.
If there has excess electricity, it will be supplied to the grid.
A remote monitoring system to monitor the performance of the system is also installed.

A.6. Contribution from Japan
The proposed project was partially supported by the Ministry of the Environment, Japan(MOEJ) through the Financing Programme for JCM Model projects, which provided financial
support of less than half of the initial investment for the project in order to acquire JCM credits.
Implementation of the proposed project also promotes transfer of low carbon technologies inChile.

E. Local stakeholder consultation
E.1. Solicitation of comments from local stakeholders
The Project participants posted notices regarding the stakeholder’s meeting three months prior
to the meeting. To complement the process, the project participants also sent out email
invitations on 04/10/2018. The stake holder’s meeting was held on 21/11/2018 during 13:0014:00 hours at the meeting room of the Vitacura Campues.
The project participant conducted a face-to-face interview with identified stakeholders (seebelow). Comments received from the stakeholders are summarized in the following section E.2.
below. The project received no negative comments from stakeholders and it was also confirmedthat none of the received comments require further actions.
