Solarity Energía

What Solarity Energía does

Solarity Energía (legal entity Solarity SpA) is a Chilean distributed solar energy company founded in 2014 that finances, designs, builds, and operates industrial- and commercial-scale photovoltaic plants under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model. Under the PPA structure, Solarity retains ownership of the asset and assumes 100% of capital, engineering, construction, insurance, and O&M costs, while clients pay a fixed per-kWh tariff lower than the local electricity distributor rate over contract terms of 15–25 years, generating guaranteed savings from day one without client CAPEX. The company serves enterprise clients across nine verticals — including viticulture, agroindustry, mining, manufacturing, retail, logistics, education, forestry, and healthcare — with named customers such as Viña Concha y Toro, Cristalchile, Unifrutti, Forestal Santa Blanca, and Volvo. Plant configurations span rooftop, ground-mounted (with optional single-axis trackers delivering 15–25% higher generation), carport, and floating solar systems, complemented by a BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) offering for peak shaving, backup power, and off-grid operation. The company operates across all 345 mainland Chilean communes, manages 280+ plants with 30+ MWp of contracted capacity, and distributes exclusively through direct enterprise field sales supported by an online savings calculator (calculadora.solarity.cl) and a real-time client monitoring portal.

Since 2022, Solarity has operated as a subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable Partners — one of the world's largest renewable energy infrastructure investors with 34+ GW of installed global capacity — which provides the capital depth to fund 100% of client plant CAPEX simultaneously across hundreds of contracts. In August 2024, the company secured a second US$50 million credit line with Banco Santander to finance expansion toward a stated target of 1,000 distributed generation plants in Chile. The business model is asset-heavy and contractually long-duration: each plant represents a 15–25 year recurring revenue stream with predictable cash flows, high switching costs for clients, and ownership of the underlying physical asset by Solarity during the contract term. The company is headquartered at Cerro El Plomo 5855, Las Condes, Santiago, Chile, and currently employs 51–100 people.

Revenue model

1. PPA Energy Sales (Solar Power Purchase Agreement): Solarity's primary revenue stream. The company designs, finances, builds, and operates solar plants at client sites (zero CAPEX for client). Clients pay a fixed tariff per kWh consumed, set below the current distributor rate, over contract terms of 15–25 years. Revenue is recurring per month based on energy consumed. Solarity retains ownership of the plant during the contract period. At contract end, options include: (i) renewal under new terms, (ii) client purchase at residual value, or (iii) removal by Solarity at no cost to client.
2. BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) Sales and Services: Battery storage systems sold and/or operated alongside solar plants or as standalone installations. Revenue may come from upfront system provision or ongoing storage services. Clients can use BESS for peak shaving, diesel replacement, grid backup, or off-grid operation. Offered both as an add-on to PPA and independently.
3. Net Billing / GDA Energy Export Revenue: Under Chile's Net Billing Law (Ley 21.118 / GDA), excess solar generation not consumed by the client is injected into the grid. Solarity manages this injection and receives compensation credited against the client's bill. Systems are designed to maximize self-consumption and minimize export.
4. Plant Removal / Asset Transfer at End of Contract: At the end of the PPA contract (15–25 years), clients may choose to have the solar plant removed by Solarity at no cost. This represents a reverse revenue stream avoided (disposal/decommissioning cost savings).

Core offering

Solarity Energía finances, designs, builds, and operates distributed solar photovoltaic plants (rooftop, ground-mounted, carport, and floating) on the premises of Chilean commercial and industrial enterprises under a 15–25 year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), with the company retaining plant ownership and the client paying only a fixed per-kWh tariff set below the regulated distributor rate. Its offering extends to Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) sold standalone or bundled with a solar PPA for peak shaving, backup, diesel replacement, and off-grid operation, plus a Net Billing/GDA grid-injection component and an exclusive real-time client monitoring portal. It is aimed at large Chilean enterprises with significant electricity consumption across viticulture, agroindustry, mining, manufacturing, retail, logistics, education, forestry, and healthcare.

Product overview

Solarity Energía offers a portfolio of solar energy solutions for industrial and commercial enterprises in Chile under the PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) model — its core product — where Solarity fully finances, designs, builds, and operates solar plants and the client pays only for the energy consumed. The offering spans four plant types (roof, ground, carport, and floating) and a BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) add-on for peak shaving, backup, and off-grid operation. Supporting the core PPA, Solarity provides an online solar savings calculator (Calculadora de Ahorro Solar) and an exclusive client monitoring portal (Portal de Clientes) for real-time plant performance tracking. The company also operates under the ESCO model and supports Net Billing/GDA grid injection, both of which integrate with the PPA as alternative contractual structures.

Direct peers

• Tritec-Intervento (Chile): Chilean solar engineering and EPC firm serving industrial and commercial clients with distributed PV and PPA-style offerings. Most direct like-for-like competitor to Solarity within the Chilean C&I solar market.
• Solek (Chile / LATAM): Chilean-founded solar developer with a portfolio spanning distributed generation and utility-scale projects across LATAM. Competes directly with Solarity in industrial-scale Chilean solar, with broader geographic reach.

Broad incumbents

• Enel Green Power Chile: Subsidiary of Italy's Enel operating one of the largest renewable energy portfolios in Chile, including distributed generation. Overlaps with Solarity in industrial C&I solar and PPAs but as part of a much broader generation and BESS portfolio.
• AES Andes: Major Chilean power generator (formerly AES Gener) with significant renewable capacity expansion across solar, wind, and BESS. A broad incumbent pursuing similar industrial and corporate renewable supply contracts in Chile.
• Statkraft Chile: Norwegian state-owned renewable developer with a growing Chilean solar and wind pipeline. Competes for large-scale renewable PPAs in the same Chilean market Solarity serves.

Regional players

• Solarpack (Cox Energy): Spanish-origin solar developer with utility-scale and distributed projects across LATAM including Chile, Peru, and Colombia. Comparable business model in industrial PPAs but with stronger geographic diversification outside Chile.
• Atlas Renewable Energy: LATAM-focused renewable energy developer delivering utility-scale solar and storage under corporate PPAs. Compares to Solarity in PPA structuring expertise and customer profile (industrial off-takers), though at larger project scale.
• Mainstream Renewable Power: Global renewable developer with Chilean wind and solar projects under long-term PPAs. Adjacent rather than direct — utility-scale focus — but competes for the same corporate renewable off-take budget in Chile.

Emerging players

• Sonnedix: Global independent solar power producer with a growing LATAM portfolio of distributed and utility-scale assets. Pursues similar long-term PPA structures for industrial and commercial off-takers.

Others

• CGE Distribución (Compañía General de Electricidad): Chile's largest electricity distribution company, serving as the regulated distributor whose tariffs Solarity's PPAs undercut. Not a direct competitor, but the price-setter and counterparty on every grid interconnection Solarity negotiates.
