Solis Powers Industrial Energy Resilience at MACROMEC in Chile with EverCore C&I Energy Storage

A 261 kWh battery energy storage system paired with a 125 kW hybrid inverter helps a mining-sector business improve solar self-consumption, manage electricity demand and strengthen power reliability.

SAN BERNARDO, SANTIAGO, CHILE – November 2026 – Solis, a global manufacturer of solar inverters and provider of energy storage solutions, has successfully deployed its SolisStorage EverCore C&I ESS at MACROMEC, a company operating in Chile's mining and off-grid sector. Located in San Bernardo, Santiago, the installation integrates a 261 kWh battery energy storage system (BESS) with a 125 kW hybrid inverter and solar PV generation, providing an integrated solution for industrial energy management and power reliability.

For businesses operating in energy-intensive industries, an unreliable electricity supply can disrupt machinery, production schedules and daily operations. MACROMEC requires a stable and dependable power supply to support its operational loads, while also seeking to maximize the value of its solar generation and improve control over electricity consumption.

By integrating solar PV with battery storage, the Solis system enables excess solar energy to be stored and used when needed, increasing on-site solar utilization and providing greater flexibility in managing electricity demand. The system is designed to support a more reliable energy supply while helping the business make better use of its renewable energy resources.

EverCore: Integrated Battery Storage for Industrial Energy Management

At the core of the installation is SolisStorage EverCore C&I ESS, a cabinet-style commercial and industrial energy storage solution with 261 kWh of battery capacity, paired with a 125 kW hybrid inverter.

By integrating battery storage and power conversion within a coordinated system, EverCore provides a streamlined approach to energy storage deployment, system operation and ongoing operation and maintenance (O&M). Its integrated architecture supports flexible energy management for businesses with demanding electricity requirements.

The MACROMEC project demonstrates three practical benefits of integrating solar PV and battery storage:

1. Higher Solar Self-Consumption

Solar PV generation does not always coincide with a facility's electricity demand. By storing surplus solar energy for later use, the system helps MACROMEC increase on-site renewable energy utilization and reduce reliance on conventional electricity sources when solar generation is unavailable.

2. More Flexible Industrial Energy Management

Battery storage enables energy to be shifted from periods of solar generation to periods of higher electricity demand. This provides greater flexibility in coordinating energy generation, storage and consumption, helping businesses manage their electricity usage more efficiently.

3. Improved Power Reliability for Industrial Operations

For businesses that depend on machinery and operational equipment, power interruptions can affect productivity and operational continuity. The integrated solar and storage solution is designed to support a more dependable power supply for customer loads, helping mitigate the operational impact of power interruptions and grid instability.

Stable Operation Since June 2026

Commissioned in June 2026, the MACROMEC energy storage system has maintained stable operation, completing approximately one charge and discharge cycle per day, according to project operating information.

This operating experience highlights the practical role of battery energy storage in industrial applications, where consistent system operation and effective coordination between solar generation and electricity demand are essential.

For MACROMEC, the installation represents a step towards a more flexible and resilient energy infrastructure. By combining solar generation with battery storage, the company can better manage its energy resources and strengthen support for ongoing industrial operations.
