Caral Energía Renovable y Sostenible

What Caral Energía Renovable y Sostenible does

Caral Energía Renovable y Sostenible is a privately held, 100% Peruvian renewable energy company headquartered in Miraflores, Lima, founded circa 2018-2019 by Guillermo Velarde (CEO, systems engineer with 20+ years in the electrical sector), Javier Velarde (environmental/mining law attorney), and Werner Harster (industrial engineer with banking/finance background). The company specializes in turnkey (llave en mano) distributed generation solutions — solar PV, wind, micro-hydro, BESS (battery energy storage), and cogeneration (CHP) — delivered to commercial, industrial, agribusiness, government, and rural off-grid clients across Peru. Its service offering spans the full project lifecycle: free pre-feasibility studies, engineering design, environmental permitting, COES grid interconnection studies, equipment procurement, installation, commissioning, and operational support.

Caral operates a hybrid revenue model combining EPC project delivery with authorized equipment distribution for 15+ international brands, including Tier 1 module makers (Jinko Solar, Trina Solar), the global #1 string inverter brand (Solis), and specialized providers in BESS (Megarevo, EverExceed), cogeneration (2G Energy, FlexEnergy, Ec Power), and substation automation (NovaTech). The company differentiates through an in-house SCADA/automation practice built on the NovaTech Orion platform, giving it technical services capability uncommon among regional EPC peers. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise sales — relationship-driven, consultative, and event-led (Expo Solar, Energyear, AGROFEST, Middle East Energy, Foro de Construcción Sostenible) — targeting high-energy-cost sectors such as mining, cement, agribusiness, banking, and government. The customer base includes Scotiabank, Interbank, BCP, Alicorp, Camposol, Unacem, Antapaccay, SENAMHI, Luz del Sur, and the Policía Nacional del Perú, among others.

The company also operates a retail equipment distribution channel selling inverters, panels, batteries, and balance-of-system components to installers and end clients, plus a growing EV charging infrastructure service line. As of 2025, Caral employs approximately 20 people, has achieved MINAM Carbon Footprint first-star recognition, and is a member of the Peru Green Building Council. It has not raised external funding and operates without disclosed financials.

Revenue model

1. EPC / Project Development (Llave en Mano): Caral designs, engineers, procures equipment for, installs, and commissions distributed generation renewable energy projects for commercial, industrial, and institutional clients. Revenue is earned as a one-time project fee, typically spanning concept through commissioning. The turnkey model includes energy studies, permitting, grid connection, and startup — offering full project accountability to the client.
2. Equipment Distribution and Representation: Caral serves as the Peruvian representative and distributor for major international renewable energy equipment brands (Solis, Jinko, Trina, Mega, Renogy, SMA, Fronius, EverExceed, FlexEnergy, 2G Energy, Ec Power, Acrel, NovaTech, etc.), selling inverters, solar panels, batteries, wind turbines, CHP units, and automation equipment to installers and end clients. Revenue is generated through equipment markup and commissions.
3. Engineering and Consulting Services: Caral offers standalone engineering studies (resource assessment, pre-feasibility, environmental impact, grid connection/COES reporting, basic and detailed engineering, economic-financial analysis, storage studies, regulatory permitting, soil/topographic studies), energy audits, tariff evaluations, and SCADA implementation services. These can be contracted independently of a full EPC project.
4. Energy Efficiency and Optimization Services: Caral provides energy auditing, smart metering and monitoring, power quality analysis, tariff optimization, power factor correction, and load automation services. These are typically recurring consulting engagements or part of the post-installation optimization phase of a project.
5. Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Services: Caral designs, installs, and manages EV charging infrastructure projects including AC (Level 2) and DC fast chargers, bidirectional V2G/V2B systems, and hybrid systems integrated with solar and BESS. Includes permit coordination, remote monitoring via OCPP, and software/app management.
