Solar power is now the cheapest source of electricity in Chile, according to Deutsche Bank AG.

That conclusion is based on the results of an energy auction in October when renewable projects offered the lowest prices and won contracts to supply 1,200 gigawatt-hours of power, Deutsche Bank analyst Vishal Shah said in a report Tuesday.
