There is a place in Chile''s Atacama Desert where the power of the sun never seems to set. It is the Quillagua photovoltaic power plant, officially inaugurated on 8 April in the municipality of
The photovoltaic plant''s construction began in January 2015, and it began its operation in June 2016 with 160 Megawatt of panels, making it Chile''s largest solar plant at the time. Northern Chile has the
Chile aims for 70% renewable electricity by 2030 – up from 35% in 2022. The Atacama Desert''s 2,200 kWh/m²/year solar radiation makes it ideal for containerized solar systems. Mining giants like
This is the Victor Jara plant, with 231 MWp of photovoltaic solar energy and 1.3 GWh of battery storage, which will be ready in the second half of the year, several months ahead of the initial
A Container Energy Storage System (ESS) is a modular, scalable solution for storing electrical energy. It typically consists of batteries housed in a shipping container, which makes it easy to transport and
ContourGlobal Quillagua solar-plus-storage plant begins operations, boosting Chile''s grid stability and clean nighttime energy delivery.
Among the flagship products is the Gotion GRID 5MWh, a fully integrated system in a 20-foot container, with an energy density of 5 MWh and a nominal voltage of 1331 V, which
Product features（Containerized Energy Storage System）: Low energy consumption, long life, high consistency, high stability. Application scenarios: photovoltaic power plants, wind power stations,
