Discover our top-tier disconnect switches engineered for high-altitude and high-UV environments across Chilean solar farms.
Chile has emerged as the solar capital of South America, boasting some of the highest solar radiation levels on the planet, particularly in the northern Atacama Desert. As the nation transitions toward its goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, the demand for robust Solar PV Safety Switches has skyrocketed.
From the massive Utility-Scale plants in Antofagasta to industrial rooftop installations in Santiago, the Chilean market requires electrical components that can withstand extreme thermal fluctuations and intense UV exposure. Our DC disconnect switches are designed to meet the rigorous standards of the Superintendencia de Electricidad y Combustibles (SEC), ensuring every installation is safe, reliable, and durable.
Industrial applications in Chile’s mining sector—the backbone of its economy—are increasingly integrating PV systems to power remote operations. These "Off-Grid" and "Micro-grid" scenarios demand the highest grade of DC Isolators to protect expensive inverter equipment and personnel from electrical faults.
Foshan SDEV Charger Co., Ltd. is a trusted manufacturer of protective components for photovoltaic systems across the globe. Our experience of working in the electrical industry for more than 30 years allows us to create solar DC components that comply with the latest DC standards.
Through our focus on solar DC protection design, production, and marketing, we can bring brand-building PV protection solutions. With the inheritance of 30+ years of experience in the research and production of DC protection products, we are continuously dedicated to the EV charging field and renewable energy safety components.
In recent years, SDEV has attentively invested resources in research on EV-related products and high-voltage DC disconnects, successively manufacturing advanced safety solutions that have reaped wide market popularity in Chile and across Latin America.
Quality is the primary goal among each of our workshops since this leads to the best performance and safety for any Solar, Storage, and EV charging system. Our commitment to quality increased brand awareness for your company.
In Chile, the RIC (Pliegos de Norma Técnica) regulations demand that all solar components are certified by recognized international bodies. To achieve our goal, our factory and products comply with UL, SAA, CB, CE, TUV, ISO, and RoHS standards. This compliance ensures that Chilean installers and distributors can import and deploy our equipment with total confidence in its legality and safety.
Our Firefighter Safety Switches are particularly critical in Chile’s urban areas like Valparaíso and Concepción, where residential solar adoption is high. These switches automatically disconnect the DC power at the panel level when the AC grid fails or when emergency services cut the power, preventing dangerous high-voltage DC from remaining active during fire-fighting operations.
The transition to 1500V DC systems is the dominant trend in Chile’s Utility-Scale solar sector. Moving from 1000V to 1500V allows for longer strings and fewer combiner boxes, significantly reducing Balance of System (BoS) costs. Our 1500VDC Load Isolator Switches are engineered specifically for these high-capacity arrays.
Furthermore, the Chilean energy storage market is booming following the approval of the "Storage and Electromobility Law." Our Energy Storage System (ESS) Disconnect Switches are becoming essential for industrial facilities in Santiago and mining sites in the north that use batteries to shift solar energy to nighttime or peak hours.
Achieving our goals comes from formulating new products based on the market demands through our in-house R&D team. Our efforts have led to our first UL508i listed patented DC switch within China and the DC-PV2 DC switch produced for the global market, including the specific requirements for high-altitude performance in the Chilean Andes.
Rugged IP66 disconnects for off-grid PV-Diesel hybrid systems in high-dust mining environments of Calama and Iquique.
Weatherproof isolation for solar-powered irrigation systems in the Central Valley (O’Higgins and Maule regions).
Corrosion-resistant materials for PV installations in coastal cities like La Serena, preventing salt-mist degradation.
Rapid shutdown and automated safety switches for homes in Santiago, complying with Net-Billing safety laws.
