What SICE does
SICE (legal name: SICE Ltda., doing business as SICE Calidad de Energía) is a Colombian limited liability company founded in 2007 that supplies and integrates power quality and energy efficiency equipment for industrial, commercial, and solar PV customers across Latin America. The company is headquartered in Cali with additional offices in Barranquilla and Bogotá, and operates via direct sales supported by on-site power quality studies and custom equipment quotations.
The technical core of the offering is dynamic reactive power compensation using DVG/SVG (Dynamic Voltage Generator / Static Var Generator) technology, with 5-15 ms response times and direct handling of both inductive and capacitive reactive power under Colombian CREG 015/2018, 199/2019, and 195/2020 resolutions. The portfolio extends to STATCOM Plus (FACTS-based grid stabilization with direct grid connection, no coupling transformer), LC and LCL passive filters, EPCOS/TDK PQvar active harmonic filters with three-level inverter topology and sub-50 µs dynamic reaction, PQube 3 IEC 61000-4-30 certified power quality analyzers, SATEC BFM136 multi-circuit energy efficiency meters, EMI and surge protection, and lightning protection with priming devices. The portfolio also includes Qdynamics Plus for solar energy optimization and SiceBatt battery storage, extending the company into distributed energy management. DVG/SVG and Enersolve equipment are UPME-certified, qualifying buyers for VAT exemption under Circular 024-2022.
The revenue model is direct equipment sales (one-time license/hardware) with technical consultation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; products are custom-sized to each customer's reactive power and harmonic profile. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no public listing, and minimal identifiable ownership structure beyond engineer Mauricio Beltrán as the primary contact. Gartner-style enterprise field sales motion is the primary go-to-market, supported by WhatsApp-driven lead handling, a YouTube educational channel, and downloadable technical PDFs. The company holds Bureau Veritas ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certifications.
