Key facts

This page is for people building in Chile

SolarPro is a Chilean company (legal name Empresa de Servicios Solares SpA), not a marketplace or a lead broker. Every installation is declared to the Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles (SEC) through form TE4, signed by a licensed electrical installer, and we build with our own crews. That matters if you are a foreign investor evaluating a Chilean asset, a corporate group with operations in Chile, a mining contractor working in the Atacama Desert, or an expatriate resident who wants the same engineering applied to a house.

Our head office is at San Pío X 2460, Of. 706, Providencia, Santiago, and we answer in English by email, WhatsApp or the quote form. Everything on this page (regulation, prices in Chilean pesos, permitting) refers to projects located in Chile; if you need an installer in another country, this is not the right page.

What we do not do is sell panels to people outside Chile. If you are looking for an installer in your own city, this is not the company for you. Everything below concerns projects physically located in Chilean territory, permitted under Chilean electrical law and connected to a Chilean distribution utility.

The full technical library lives on the Spanish side of the site. The most useful entry points are the solar panels in Chile hub with 2026 prices and ROI and the client and reference list covering 850+ projects and 10.5 MW. Both are written in Spanish.

Chile as a jurisdiction

The regulatory frame you are buying into

Chilean distributed solar sits on two different regimes, and choosing the wrong one is the most expensive mistake in the whole project. Self-consumption credits energy against your own bill and stops at 300 kW. Distributed generation sells energy to the system and runs to 9 MW. The tax treatment is the same in both cases.

Net Billing — Law 20,571 as amended by Law 21,118

Self-consumption with surplus injection, capped at 300 kW per connection point. The plant is declared to the SEC through form TE4, signed by a licensed electrical installer, and the SEC connection forms are filed with the distribution utility for the bidirectional meter. Surpluses are credited against the following bills.

PMGD — Article 149 of the General Electricity Services Law and Supreme Decree 88 of 2019

Above 300 kW and up to 9 MW the route is no longer self-consumption but distributed generation: feeder capacity study, coordination with the Coordinador Electrico Nacional and the option of a stabilised price set every six months by the CNE, or spot price.

Instant depreciation under Pro Pyme

The plant is a company asset and depreciates. If the company is under the Pro Pyme regime (Article 14 D No. 3 of the Chilean Income Tax Law), the asset can take instant depreciation, which brings the tax shield forward to year one; in other regimes it depreciates over more years. Confirm with your accountant.

Distribution utilities and grid interface

We file and connect with every Chilean distributor — Enel, CGE, Chilquinta, Saesa and Frontel. Net Billing activation typically takes 2 to 10 weeks after the physical works, depending on the utility.

Tariff selection is the other half of the analysis: an industrial site on a tariff with a capacity charge can see 30% to 50% of its bill come from demand rather than energy, and solar alone does not touch that component. The Spanish-language guides on Chilean electricity tariffs BT1, BT2 and BT3 and on cutting the demand charge with solar plus BESS set out how we size storage for peak shaving.

Four lines of work.
All of them in Chile.

Industrial EPC, mining and off-grid, PMGD development, and operation and maintenance of plants already standing.

Industrial EPC

Industrial EPC

Engineering, procurement and construction, turnkey.

From a 20 kWp rooftop to a 9 MW PMGD: electrical and structural engineering, procurement, mounting, connection and full SEC filing.

  • Load-curve measurement before sizing, not bill estimates
  • Electrical, structural and construction drawings
  • Commissioning and performance testing
  • TE4 declaration and connection filing included

Reference price at scale: CLP $690 per Wp net at 100 kWp, falling to CLP $650 per Wp above 300 kWp.

Industrial EPC and PMGD detail →
Mining and off-grid

Mining and off-grid

Autonomous power where there is no grid.

Solar and battery systems for remote mining operations: camp electrification, solar pumping, road lighting and autonomous surveillance.

  • Solar surveillance carts with lithium batteries supplied as a subcontractor to a large-scale mining site (2025-2026)
  • Base configuration: towable trailer, folding panels ~2.8 kWp, ~10 kWh LiFePO4
  • Cameras on a telescopic mast (AI optional), 24/7 off-grid
  • Deployed in under 2 hours, designed for arid environments

Designed for the Atacama Desert: LiFePO4 tolerates high ambient temperature.

Mining solutions detail →
PMGD development

PMGD development

Sell energy to the grid, not just cut a bill.

Distributed generation up to 9 MW on land or large roofs: feasibility, feeder capacity study, engineering, permitting, EPC and O&M.

  • Connection capacity study at the real injection point
  • Stabilised price (CNE) or spot regime analysis
  • Coordination with the Coordinador Electrico Nacional
  • Engineering assessment of PMGD versus self-consumption under Net Billing

A PMGD does not require you to consume the energy you generate.

PMGD project development →
Utility-scale O&M and due diligence

Utility-scale O&M and due diligence

For assets already built — yours or someone else’s.

Operation, maintenance and technical audit of existing plants, including plants SolarPro did not build. Useful before an acquisition.

  • Wet and dry cleaning, infrared thermography
  • Performance Ratio reporting and production monitoring
  • Inverter repair: Huawei, SMA, Fronius, Growatt and others
  • Certified spare parts in stock, 24 to 48 h anywhere in Chile

Construction (2017, contracted by Ecoenergías) of the 30 kWp plant at La Moneda, the Chilean presidential palace, and its maintenance in 2018 (for Ecoenergías) and in 2020 and 2021 (for the Presidency).

Certified equipment we specify →

Sector-specific engineering is documented in Spanish for industrial plants and PMGD up to 9 MW, hotels and hospitality and schools and education campuses.

Enterprise track record

Who already contracts SolarPro in Chile

Energy, mining and public-sector clients SolarPro has worked for in Chile. Every entry below is a project delivered, with its role and year, not a logo.

Enel Generación

Accredited supplier

Maintenance of the solar thermal system at Enel Generación’s Quintero power plant (purchase order of January 2021, replacement of sacrificial anodes), with HSE contractor accreditation and induction in May 2021. It is a solar thermal system, not a photovoltaic plant.

Engie Energía Chile

Supplier

A photovoltaic cleaning kit (low-water, autonomous) for its solar plant in Arica, in the Atacama Desert, and MC4 connectors (2019). Equipment supply only, with no operation and maintenance contract.

Large-scale mining site (as subcontractor)

Mining — off-grid surveillance

Solar surveillance carts with lithium batteries for a large-scale mining site, supplied as a subcontractor to a mining contractor (2025-2026). We do not publish the names of the mine owner or the contractor.

La Moneda Palace

Construction and maintenance — seat of government

The 30 kWp solar plant at the Chilean presidential palace was built in 2017 by SolarPro, contracted by Ecoenergías (the tender winner); SolarPro then maintained it in 2018 (for Ecoenergías) and in 2020 and 2021 (for the Presidency), with specialised cleaning to protect the historic copper stonework.

GNL Quintero

Industrial and port complex

A photovoltaic installation inside an LNG regasification industrial-port complex, where operational safety standards are particularly demanding.

Mid-size references follow the same pattern. Two documented cases with published figures are the 108 kWp ESCO plant at Vina Santa Cruz and the comparison of SolarPro against the wider Chilean solar market.

Reference pricing 2026

What a commercial and industrial plant costs

Chilean pesos, net prices, all-in: engineering, equipment, mounting, construction and SEC filing. The unit price falls with scale because engineering and permitting spread across more Wp, and each tier has a maximum price: at the upper limit of a tier the next tier's rate already applies. As a pre-feasibility rule, size about 1 kWp for every CLP $20,000 of monthly electricity bill.

300 kWpIndustrial scale and PMGDCLP $195,000,000$650
500 kWpIndustrial plant and PMGDCLP $325,000,000$650

Prices valid to 31 December 2026. Figures in Chilean pesos (CLP), not US dollars, net prices. CLP per Wp is the effective rate (price ÷ Wp). Final cost depends on roof type, distance to the electrical room and the connection point.

For an expatriate resident sizing a house rather than a plant, the residential tiers are 3 kW at CLP $3,870,000, 4 kW at CLP $5,160,000, 5 kW at CLP $5,750,000, 6 kW at CLP $6,175,000, 8 kW at CLP $7,600,000, 10 kW at CLP $8,900,000. The Spanish-language pages covering SEC-certified Tier 1 panels and inverters and the 3-year installation warranty and the panel and inverter warranties apply identically at both scales.

Site selection

Chile is not one solar resource, it is several

Most Chilean solar calculators apply a single national yield factor of roughly 1,150 kWh per kWp per year. That is a simplification that can distort a financial model badly. The figures below are estimated AC yield with optimal tilt, derived from the Explorador Solar of the Chilean Ministry of Energy and the Department of Geophysics of Universidad de Chile (Molina et al., 2017, climatology 2004-2016).

Estimated AC photovoltaic yield by Chilean city, kWh per kWp per year
CityZoneEstimated AC yield (kWh/kWp/yr)
CopiapoAtacama region1,794
AntofagastaFar north1,745
RancaguaCentral valley1,599
SantiagoMetropolitan region1,510
ConcepcionSouth-central1,466
Puerto MonttLakes region1,148

A plant in Copiapo yields roughly 56% more per installed kWp than one in Puerto Montt. The full table for eleven zones, with plant factor and source notes, is published in Spanish as the Solar State of Chile report on yield by zone.

How an EPC project runs

Six phases, one contractor, one point of responsibility.

01

Energy and load study

We measure the real load curve, review the tariff (BT1 to BT4.3, AT4.1 to AT4.3) and test technical feasibility before proposing any capacity.

02

Engineering

Electrical and structural design, construction drawings, production modelling and the regulatory route: Net Billing under 300 kW, or PMGD above it.

03

Procurement

Selection and purchase of panels, inverters and mounting structure, all SEC-certified and specified for the site rather than for a catalogue.

04

Construction

Execution by our own certified crews. Enterprise sites are run under the client’s HSE regime, as accredited with Enel.

05

Commissioning

Testing, string verification, thermography and system optimisation before handover, with the baseline Performance Ratio recorded.

06

SEC filing and connection

TE4 declaration to the SEC, SEC connection forms with the distributor, bidirectional meter and Net Billing activation — or CNE and CEN coordination for a PMGD.

“Energy is not
a product.
It is infrastructure.”

Frequently asked questions

Regulation, cost, tax treatment and track record in Chile.

It depends on what the plant connects for. For self-consumption, Net Billing applies under Law 20,571 as amended by Law 21,118, with a cap of 300 kW per connection point. To sell energy to the grid instead of crediting it against a bill, the route is a PMGD of up to 9 MW.

For self-consumption, the works are declared to the SEC through form TE4, signed by a licensed electrical installer, and the SEC connection forms are filed with the distribution utility for the bidirectional meter. A PMGD falls under Article 149 of the General Electricity Services Law and its regulation, Supreme Decree 88 of 2019, with a feeder capacity study, coordination with the Coordinador Electrico Nacional and the option of a stabilised price set every six months by the CNE.

SolarPro reference prices for 2026: 20 kWp, CLP $15,000,000 net (CLP $750 per Wp); 30 kWp, CLP $21,600,000 net (CLP $720 per Wp); 50 kWp, CLP $36,000,000 net (CLP $720 per Wp); 100 kWp, CLP $69,000,000 net (CLP $690 per Wp); 300 kWp, CLP $195,000,000 net (CLP $650 per Wp); 500 kWp, CLP $325,000,000 net (CLP $650 per Wp). The unit price falls with scale because engineering, permitting and mounting spread over more Wp, and each tier has a maximum price: at the upper limit of a tier the next tier's rate already applies, so a larger plant never costs less than a smaller one. A quick pre-feasibility rule: about 1 kWp for every CLP $20,000 of monthly electricity bill; the price then comes from the tier table.

The plant is a company asset and depreciates. If the company is under the Pro Pyme regime (Article 14 D No. 3 of the Chilean Income Tax Law), the asset can take instant depreciation, which brings the tax shield forward to the first year instead of spreading it over the useful life; in other regimes the plant depreciates over more years. The specific effect on your accounts should be confirmed with your own accountant or tax advisor.

SolarPro is an accredited supplier to Enel Generación (maintenance of the solar thermal system at its Quintero power plant, 2021) and a supplier to Engie Energía Chile (a photovoltaic cleaning kit for its Arica plant and MC4 connectors, 2019).

In mining, SolarPro supplied solar surveillance carts with lithium batteries for a large-scale mining site as a subcontractor (2025-2026). SolarPro also built in 2017, contracted by Ecoenergías, the 30 kWp plant at La Moneda, the seat of the Chilean government, and maintained it in 2018 and in 2020 and 2021; it also installed a photovoltaic plant at the GNL Quintero industrial-port complex.

Yield varies strongly by zone, which is why a single national factor is misleading. Using the Explorador Solar of the Chilean Ministry of Energy and the Department of Geophysics of Universidad de Chile, AC yield with optimal tilt, after the Explorador's default 14% system losses and 96% inverter efficiency, runs from about 1,794 kWh per kWp per year in Copiapo and 1,745 in Antofagasta, to 1,510 in Santiago and 1,148 in Puerto Montt. Site selection therefore changes project economics more than equipment choice does.

SolarPro is the commercial brand of Empresa de Servicios Solares SpA (ESS SpA), a Chilean company, tax ID 76.729.529-4, with 15+ years of experience (rooted in Ecoenergías, 2011; SolarPro since 2017). Its installations are declared to the Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles (SEC) through form TE4. It has 6 offices in Chile and addresses in Buenos Aires (Argentina), Montevideo (Uruguay) and Jijoca de Jericoacoara (Brazil), where projects are handled case by case; the contact phone is the Chilean one. Chile remains the jurisdiction where the track record and the permitting capability sit.

Yes. SolarPro provides utility-scale operation and maintenance, technical performance audits, repowering studies, Performance Ratio evaluation and infrared thermography troubleshooting on third-party plants. It also repairs inverters from Huawei, SMA, Fronius, Growatt and other brands, on site or in workshop, and holds certified spare parts in stock with delivery in 24 to 48 hours anywhere in Chile. This is the usual entry point for technical due diligence before an asset acquisition.

Yes, and the process is the same one applied to corporate clients, only smaller. Residential reference prices for 2026: 3 kW, CLP $3,870,000; 5 kW, CLP $5,750,000; 8 kW, CLP $7,600,000; 10 kW, CLP $8,900,000, all including materials, installation, engineering and SEC permits. Physical installation takes 1 to 3 business days; Net Billing activation with the distributor takes a further 2 to 10 weeks, depending on the utility. The residential pages of the site are in Spanish.
