Monitoring for photovoltaic systems: meteocontrol expands market presence in South America.

Augsburg/Santiago de Chile, October 11, 2017 – Meteocontrol GmbH, the worldwide leading provider of independent photovoltaic (PV) monitoring systems, continues to pursue an international market presence. With the founding of a joint venture in Chile, the company is meeting the needs of the growing photovoltaic markets in South America. meteocontrol Chile SpA has its headquarters in Santiago de Chile, and is focusing on tapping the markets in Chile, Peru and Bolivia.

The signs point to growth – both at meteocontrol and for the use of solar energy in Chile. “We want to push our internationalization. As a pioneer in solar energy in South America, Chile offers the best conditions,” says Martin Schneider, Managing Director at meteocontrol. “Through this joint venture, we will be better positioned to care for our existing local clients and provide faster technical support, which is currently hindered by the time difference with Germany. Of course, we are also focusing on gaining new clients and completing further projects, both in Chile and in the neighboring countries Peru and Bolivia,” says Schneider. The joint venture partner is the Chilean company Ingetrace Solar SpA.
