High-efficiency mono and bifacial TOPCon modules selected specifically for the high-albedo and solar profiles of northern and central Chile.
Chile represents one of the most dynamic and sophisticated solar markets in Latin America, driven by the national target to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 and completely phase out coal-fired power plants by 2040. The country's unique geographical conditions, particularly in the northern regions like the Atacama Desert, offer the highest solar irradiance levels in the world, often exceeding 3,000 kWh/m² per year. However, this environment poses severe operational challenges for photovoltaic systems, including high ultraviolet (UV) exposure, extreme day-night temperature fluctuations, and substantial dust soiling.
In response to these demands, the Chilean Commercial and Industrial (C&I) sector and utility-scale developers are rapidly shifting toward N-Type TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) technology. Unlike traditional P-type PERC cells, N-type TOPCon solar panels exhibit almost zero Light Induced Degradation (LID) and significantly lower LeTID (Light and elevated Temperature Induced Degradation). This technical advantage ensures that assets operating in harsh northern conditions maintain a stable energy production curve throughout their 30-year lifecycle.
Furthermore, Chile's robust legal framework for distributed generation, notably the PMGD (Pequeños Medios de Generación Distribuida) framework for projects up to 9 MW, provides projects with access to a stabilized price regime. For PMGD developers, maximizing the capacity factor of the plant is critical. TOPCon's superior low-light performance and high bifaciality factor (up to 80-85%) allow for increased electricity generation during early mornings and late afternoons, directly translating to higher financial returns under the stabilized price mechanisms.

High-efficiency bifacial and utility modules offering maximized capacity density for major C&I projects and distributed micro-grids in Chile.
Exporting high-quality solar modules to Chile requires strict adherence to national and local regulatory standards. The primary regulatory body overseeing the installation and grid integration of solar power systems in Chile is the SEC (Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles). Every inverter, solar PV module, and associated protection element must carry SEC certification to be connected to the grid under the Net Billing Law 20.571 (distributed generation framework) or for larger PMGD utilities. Halkirk Solar coordinates closely with localized laboratories and testing firms to ensure our N-Type TOPCon models meet all required SEC protocols, securing immediate grid compliance for our clients.
Logistically, Halkirk Solar leverages its proximity to the port of Ningbo to establish streamlined, cost-effective shipping lanes to Chile's primary maritime ports. Modules destined for projects in the central valley (such as around Santiago, Valparaíso, and Rancagua) are routed through the ports of Valparaíso or San Antonio. For utility-scale installations in the Atacama region, shipments are directed to the northern ports of Iquique or Antofagasta. This reduces inland freight distance and lowers transportation-related mechanical stress, ensuring our N-Type TOPCon panels arrive at the job site in perfect condition, ready for high-yield operations.
Essential insights for developers, EPC contractors, and purchasing managers importing TOPCon modules to Chile.
The Atacama Desert features extreme UV exposure and high daytime temperatures. N-Type TOPCon modules offer a significantly lower temperature coefficient (-0.30%/°C) compared to PERC (-0.34%/°C), meaning they experience less power drop as operating temperatures rise. Additionally, TOPCon cells are virtually immune to Light Induced Degradation (LID), resulting in up to 5-8% higher lifetime power generation in high-irradiance desert zones.
Yes, our utility and C&I modules are designed and certified to comply with international IEC standards (IEC 61215 and IEC 61730). We provide complete technical data packages, certificates, and compliance reports required for the SEC (Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles) registration process in Chile, ensuring seamless grid connection for PMGD and Net-Billing projects.
Shipping from Ningbo Port (China) to the major ports of Chile (Valparaíso, San Antonio, Iquique, Antofagasta) typically takes between 35 to 45 days.
