Solis , a global manufacturer of solar inverters and energy storage solutions provider, has successfully implemented its SolisStorage EverCore C&I ESS at MACROMEC, a company operating in the mining sector and providing solutions for off-grid applications in Chile. Located in San Bernardo, Santiago, the project integrates a 261 kWh battery energy storage system (BESS) , a 125 kW hybrid inverter , and photovoltaic solar generation, offering an integrated energy solution to improve electricity consumption management and supply reliability in industrial applications.
For companies in energy-intensive sectors, power outages can disrupt machinery, production schedules, and daily operations. MACROMEC needs a stable and reliable power supply for its equipment and operational loads, while also seeking to better utilize solar energy and manage its electricity consumption with greater flexibility.
To meet these needs, the integration of photovoltaic solar generation and battery storage allows for the storage of surplus solar energy for use when required. In this way, the system contributes to increased self-consumption of renewable energy and offers greater flexibility in managing electricity demand, promoting a more balanced and reliable energy supply.
EverCore: Integrated energy storage for industrial energy management
At the heart of this facility is the SolisStorage EverCore C&I ESS , an energy storage solution for commercial and industrial (C&I) applications, with a storage capacity of 261 kWh, integrated with a 125 kW hybrid inverter.
By integrating battery storage and power conversion into a coordinated solution, EverCore simplifies system integration, operation and maintenance (O&M), and provides flexibility for energy management in commercial and industrial facilities with significant electrical requirements.
The MACROMEC project demonstrates three practical benefits of integrating solar photovoltaic energy and battery storage:
1. Greater use of solar energy
Photovoltaic generation does not always coincide with periods of peak electricity demand at a facility. By storing surplus solar energy for later use, the system helps MACROMEC increase the utilization of renewable energy generated at its own facilities and reduce dependence on conventional electricity sources when solar generation is unavailable.
2. Greater flexibility in industrial energy management
Battery storage allows energy use to be shifted from periods of solar generation to other times when electricity is needed. This capability provides greater flexibility in coordinating energy generation, storage, and consumption, helping businesses manage their electrical resources more efficiently.
3. Greater energy reliability for industrial operations
For businesses that rely on operational machinery and equipment, power outages can impact productivity and business continuity. The integrated solar and storage solution is designed to provide a more reliable power supply for facility loads, helping to mitigate the operational impact of power outages and grid instability.
Stable operation since June 2026
Since its commissioning in June 2026 , MACROMEC's energy storage system has maintained stable operation, with approximately one charge and discharge cycle per day , according to the project's operational information.
This experience demonstrates the practical role of energy storage systems in industrial applications, where constant system operation and efficient coordination between solar generation and electricity demand are fundamental.
For MACROMEC, the project 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 the support for its industrial operations.
