Solar Power Inverters Recommendation For Peru

According to data from the International Energy Agency, global solar power has grown at an annual rate of 15% over the past five years, and Peru has also taken advantage of this clean energy development. Peru, a South American country with rich natural resources, has a great potential for solar power. As a key component of solar power system, solar inverters directly determine the efficiency and stability of power. Today, Xindun will take a deeper look at the current status of solar power in Peru and recommend several high quality solar power inverters suitable for Peruvian users.

I.The power structure of Peru

According to data disclosed by the Economic Operation Commission of the National Interconnection System of Peru (COES) in December 2023, Peru's total power in 2023 reached about 62.1 terawatt hours, an increase of nearly 4% compared with 2022. Among them, hydropower accounts for 47%, which is the main force of Peru's power supply, and natural gas power accounts for 46%, which occupies an important position in power supply. Renewable energy power accounts for about 5.8%, including solar energy, wind energy, bagasse and biogas. In 2023, solar power accounted for about 2% of Peru's total power. Peru's power production mainly relies on hydropower and natural gas power generation. The Peruvian government has set a goal to increase the proportion of renewable energy power to 20% in 2023. However, the proportion of renewable energy power in Peru in 2023 has not yet reached this goal. Peru still has huge room for development in renewable energy power, especially in solar power projects.

II.Is the power supply in Peru stable?

The power supply situation in Peru is relatively stable. Since the 1990s, the Peruvian government has carried out market-oriented reforms in the power industry, which has promoted the diversification of power supply energy and enhanced the security and stability of power supply. However, in recent years, due to the influence of the El Niño phenomenon, the flow and water level of some rivers in Peru have declined, resulting in unstable hydropower supply. When water resources are scarce, it relies on diesel power generation, which leads to increased power costs. This phenomenon has also prompted the Peruvian government to increase its efforts in renewable energy power and diversify Peru's power supply, such as solar power projects.

The unstable power supply in Peru is mainly concentrated in remote mountainous areas, the Amazon rainforest and high-altitude areas. It is difficult to build power facilities in these areas, and the power grid cannot effectively cover all areas. In some remote areas, the power grid facilities have not yet been covered or the infrastructure has been in disrepair for a long time, resulting in unstable power supply. There are also extreme weather phenomena, which often cause power outages or damage power grid equipment, affecting the supply of electricity. Families and communities in these remote areas often face the dilemma of power outages.

An effective solution to the problem of power supply is to popularize the installation and use of off grid solar power systems. These areas have abundant sunshine. For remote areas, off grid solar power systems are an effective solution that can provide these areas with a stable power supply without relying on the power grid.

III.Is electricity price high in Peru?

The electricity price in Peru is relatively high in Latin America and is at a medium level globally. The household electricity price in Peru is about $0.184/kWh and the commercial electricity price is about $0.164/kWh. The electricity price in Peru ranks among the top three in Latin America, higher than most South American countries, second only to Uruguay ($0.24) and El Salvador ($0.23). Peru is a country with relatively high electricity prices in Latin America. In December 2024, the Peruvian Congress approved an amendment to Law No. 28,832 on the Efficient Development of Power, which aims to ensure the efficient development of power, allowing all available power technologies in Peru to compete transparently in power supply bidding, and preventing the trend of rising electricity prices from continuing in the future.

IV. What is the development potential of solar power in Peru?

Since Peru joined the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), its economy has grown rapidly and its electricity demand has continued to increase. Solar energy, as a renewable energy source, has also become one of the important goals of the Peruvian government in promoting the development of the renewable energy industry.

Excellent sunshine resources

Peru has excellent solar power conditions and is very suitable for the development of the solar energy industry. Peru is located near the equator and has rich solar energy resources. It is one of the regions with relatively rich solar energy resources in the world, especially in coastal areas, the Andes Mountains and high altitude areas.

The average solar radiation intensity in Peru is about 5 kWh/m²/d, which means that each square meter of solar panels can receive about 5 kWh of energy per day. In areas with high solar radiation intensity, large-scale solar power station projects in Peru are suitable.

Most parts of Peru have sufficient sunshine. Peru has an annual sunshine of about 3000-3200 hours. The long sunshine time provides sufficient energy for solar panels to generate electricity and store.

Peru solar policy promotion

The Peruvian government has implemented a series of policies and measures to promote the development of renewable energy, especially solar power. In 2008, Decree No. 1002, the Renewable Energy Investment Promotion Act, was promulgated, setting up a variety of measures and mechanisms such as biennial auctions, subsidies, priority sales and ensuring grid connection to promote the development of renewable energy. Peru actively promotes the construction of solar power projects to achieve the diversification of energy structure, reduce dependence on hydropower, and respond to the negative impact of climate phenomena such as El Niño on power supply.

Long-term energy transformation goals

In 2022, the Peruvian National Electricity Company formulated the "Zero Emission Energy Transformation Roadmap 2030-2050", with the goal of renewable energy accounting for 15% of total power by 2030. To achieve this goal, the government actively promotes the development of solar power projects.

Investment promotion policy

Accelerated amortization. In 2008, the Peruvian government promulgated Decree No. 1002, the "Act to Promote Investment in Renewable Energy Generation", which set up an accelerated amortization policy. It only applies to renewable energy investments, including solar energy, to encourage companies to invest in renewable energy power generation projects.

Tax incentives: According to Peruvian media reports in January, the Peruvian government has submitted a bill to Congress, planning to extend the tax incentive policy for renewable energy power until December 2035, allowing renewable energy power companies to adopt an annual depreciation and amortization rate of 20% for mechanical facilities and equipment during operation, helping companies to accelerate the recovery of their investments and thus encourage new investments.

Market access and competition policy

The Peruvian Congress approved amendments to Law No. 28,832 to ensure that all available power technologies, such as solar, hydropower, thermal, wind, and biomass, compete transparently in power supply tenders, prevent future electricity price increases, and establish a framework for distribution companies to conduct short-term, medium-term, or long-term power supply tenders to ensure that power is supplied to their regulated users. Former Peruvian Deputy Energy Minister Gamio suggested that solar power be allowed to enter the free user market more, that is, high power users such as enterprises that sign power supply contracts directly with distribution companies, in order to expand the market space for solar power.

Market demand growth

In recent years, Peru's mining industry has developed rapidly, and mining companies' demand for renewable electricity supply has increased, providing a broad market space for solar power. In addition, with the continuous increase in global demand for renewable energy, it has also created a favorable external environment for the development of solar power in Peru.

Advantages of the opening of Peru Chancay Port Cargo

Peru Chancay Port was officially put into use on November 14, 2024. The opening of the port brings direct logistics and price advantages.

The freight journey from China to South America has been greatly shortened, reducing the cost of importing Chinese solar power systems, enriching the product selection of the Peruvian solar market, and making solar solutions affordable for more Peruvian families and businesses. The cargo transportation of Chancay Port can radiate the economic development of neighboring South American countries, making the import of solar equipment such as Chinese solar inverters and solar panels more efficient, improving the market competitiveness of products, and promoting the development of solar power in Peru and neighboring countries.

V.Which solar inverter type is suitable for Peru?

Off grid solar power inverters

Off grid solar power inverters can operate independently and do not rely on the power grid. They can provide residents in these areas with a stable power supply to meet basic living electricity needs, such as lighting and home appliance use. It is usually used in conjunction with energy storage batteries to store electricity while solar are used for loads during the day, so that they can continue to supply power to the loads at night or on cloudy days to ensure a continuous supply of electricity. Off-grid solar inverters are suitable for independent power supply in areas without access to the power grid, remote areas, or places with unstable power grids. Some remote mountainous or rural areas in Peru may not have a stable grid connection, and off grid solar inverters are ideal for such areas.

Hybrid solar power inverters

Hybrid solar power inverters combine the functions of off grid and on grid hybrid power inverters, and can use energy storage batteries to continue to provide power to users when the grid power supply is unstable or power outages. Hybrid inverters are suitable for families or businesses that want to have a certain amount of energy storage capabilities (such as to cope with emergencies such as power outages) while being supplied by the grid. In some cities or regions in Peru, the stability of the power grid may be affected, so this hybrid power inverter is also a good choice.

On Grid solar power inverters

On grid solar power inverters can directly connect the electricity generated by solar power systems to the national grid of Peru, realize the access of surplus electricity to the grid, improve the efficiency of energy utilization, and also reduce the investment cost of energy storage equipment. For users, they can obtain certain economic benefits by selling excess electricity to the grid. For the country, it is conducive to integrating energy resources and meeting the electricity needs of more users. It is suitable for users in areas with stable electricity in Peru and want to sell excess electricity. It is also commonly used in medium and large solar power station projects.

If you live in remote areas or mountainous areas of Peru and do not have a stable power supply, off-grid solar power inverters are the best choice. They can ensure the most basic electricity consumption in your daily life.

If you are in a stable grid area in Peru and hope to obtain economic benefits through solar power, choose on grid solar power inverter.

If you want to have backup power when the grid is unstable, or want to store solar power, hybrid inverter is a good choice.

In addition, Peru has abundant solar energy resources and strong solar radiation, so even on grid system can achieve higher power efficiency.

VI.The market share of Chinese inverters in Peru continues to expand

In recent years, the global market share of Chinese inverters has continued to expand, and their influence in the Peruvian market has gradually increased. From January to November 2024, China exported 6.99 billion yuan of inverters to Latin America, a year-on-year increase of 32%. As an important country in Latin America, Peru's share of Chinese inverters in its market is also gradually increasing. China has a huge manufacturing base and a complete industrial chain. From raw material supply to parts manufacturing, and then to inverter assembly, China has formed a complete industrial chain. Chinese inverter manufacturers can provide inverters of different powers and types to meet the different scales and diversified solar solutions of Peru, such as household, industrial and commercial, and large-scale solar power stations. The upgrade of the China-Peru Free Trade Agreement has further reduced the tariffs and non-tariff barriers to bilateral trade, which has reduced the cost of products exported by Chinese inverter manufacturers to Peru, and made the prices more competitive, providing Peruvian users with cost-effective inverter products.
