Solis is taking firm steps in the Latin American energy storage market. The company has launched its first BESS in Argentina, Chile, and other countries that follow IEC standards, and expects to enter Colombia in the first quarter of 2025. The solutions target the commercial and industrial segment, offering scalable systems of up to 2 MW, integrated with batteries from a world-leading manufacturer.
The first model delivers 50 kW of power with 109 kWh of storage capacity, while the second offers 125 kW and 260 kWh. Both versions can be installed in parallel, enabling large-scale configurations to meet growing demand for high-efficiency energy solutions in commercial projects.
This move is part of a broader regional expansion strategy that Solis has been consolidating since its participation in the Future Energy Summit Colombia in 2021. Since then, the company has established a presence in over 50 markets across Central America, the Caribbean, and South America, offering a portfolio tailored to local technical and regulatory conditions.
“We offer the widest product range on the market,” said Marco Ricci, Head of Latam Business Development at Solis, during the event in Bogotá.
This range allows the company to serve everything from residential installations to large-scale solar projects. One of its most notable recent developments is the Solarator — a hybrid inverter combining solar and generator functionality, with models reaching up to 125 kW.
The offering also includes low-voltage inverters, aimed at cost-sensitive applications, and a commercial and industrial range spanning 30 to 125 kW, compatible with voltages of 208, 220, 440 and 480 volts.
In Colombia, Solis is placing particular focus on solar mini-farms, installations of up to 999 kW, which are experiencing strong growth in the country. For this segment, the company developed a 333 kW solution derived from its 350 kW utility-scale inverter. These projects maximise distributed generation potential without the complexity of large-scale grid connection, making them a strategic priority.
Solis’s technological roadmap is underpinned by a workforce of over 4,500 employees, including nearly 1,000 engineers dedicated exclusively to research and development. A quarter of the workforce focuses on product design, which explains the company’s rapid product rollout and adaptability to regional needs.
“Every month, if not every week, we launch a new product,” Ricci noted.
In 2024, the company celebrated 20 years since its founding. Its CEO — still leading the firm — is regarded as one of the world’s foremost experts in string inverters. This strategic vision is combined with a policy of specialisation: while Solis does not manufacture batteries, it partners with top-tier battery providers to deliver integrated solutions while remaining focused on inverter technology.
Looking ahead, the company’s goal is clear: to lead the storage segment in key Latin American markets. “We hope to finish as number one in Colombia and keep growing across the region,” Ricci concluded.
