What Solartec does

Solartec S.A. is an Argentine privately-held company, founded in 1981 in Munro (Province of Buenos Aires), that manufactures and distributes solar energy solutions. Since 1986 it has produced photovoltaic modules domestically at an industrial plant in La Rioja province, making it one of the longest-standing solar manufacturers in the Southern Cone of South America. Its core products include proprietary polycrystalline and monocrystalline PERC photovoltaic modules (SOL-6P and SOL-72PE lines ranging from 260 W to 360 W), complemented by a full balance-of-system catalog: deep-cycle batteries, charge controllers (Solartec-branded SR, STmax, SRX, and SCmax series, plus Morningstar distribution), DC-AC inverters for both autonomous and grid-tied systems, metal support structures, solar water pumps (Lorentz helical rotor and centrifugal), and engineered electrical panels built to AEA 90364-7-712 standards.

The company sells and installs complete solar solutions rather than only components, operating a sales-led, project-based B2B motion targeting industrial and commercial customers as its primary segment, with residential and rural/off-grid customers as a secondary segment. Reference projects include a 177 kWp grid-tied installation at Universidad Católica Argentina (492 Longi Solar modules, 4 ABB 50 kVA three-phase inverters), as well as installations for Siemens, Bayer, Globant Tandil, Shell (Oleoducto Shell), Oleoducto Trasandino, OTASA, and Iriarte, evidencing enterprise-grade execution capability across education, technology, chemical/pharmaceutical, oil and gas, industrial, and real estate verticals. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no public rate card disclosed.

Solartec's go-to-market is fully direct: administration and sales offices in Munro handle customer engagement, while a separate distribution center in El Triángulo (Buenos Aires) supports logistics and the La Rioja plant supports manufacturing. It holds ISO 9001:2008 (IRAM/INN/IQNet) and IRAM product conformity certifications, and it positions tier-1 supplier partnerships (Longi Solar, ABB, DEKA Solar) as a core element of its value proposition. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; ownership is private Argentine capital with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or funding rounds.

Core offering

Solartec S.A. manufactures photovoltaic modules in Argentina and distributes a complete line of solar energy components including batteries, charge controllers, inverters, support structures, solar water pumps, and electrical panels. The company designs and installs turnkey photovoltaic systems for grid-connected generation, autonomous power generation, battery banks, solar pumping, and autonomous outdoor lighting, serving industrial, commercial, and residential customers.

Product overview

Solartec is an Argentine solar energy company founded in 1981 that manufactures photovoltaic modules and supplies the full range of components for solar power systems. Its core manufactured product is its line of photovoltaic modules (SOL-6P, KS series) using polycrystalline silicon cells. The company also distributes or re-sells complementary products including batteries (e.g., DEKA Solar), charge controllers (SOLARTEC branded and Morningstar distributed), inverters, support structures, solar water pumps, and electrical panels. These products are offered as individual components for self-designed installations and are also combined into complete turnkey solar solutions covering pumping systems, autonomous generators, grid-connected systems, and autonomous lighting.
