[Valencia, Spain, September 2025] – SUNOTEC, one of Europe’s leading providers of large-scale solar PV plants, announced the launch of SUNOTEC Iberia, a new division dedicated to expanding the company’s presence in Spain, Portugal, and Latin America. This strategic move underscores SUNOTEC’s commitment to growth in high-potential solar markets and to delivering local expertise to meet rising renewable energy demands.

Strategic Expansion in Latin America

SUNOTEC has identified Latin America as a priority growth region due to its abundant solar resources and increasing renewable energy commitments. The company has ambitious expansion targets for the next three years with a strong focus on Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic.

SUNOTEC Iberia is set to play a pivotal role in expanding the company’s business outside Europe. These markets present significant opportunities for large-scale solar installations, and SUNOTEC’s integrated solutions model positions the company to deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions.

Introducing SUNOTEC Iberia's Leadership Team

To lead this new chapter, SUNOTEC welcomes two highly experienced industry professionals:

Alejandro Ramos, with nearly a decade of experience in the renewable energy sector, brings extensive expertise in solar mounting systems and project management across the Iberian and Latin American markets. As the Managing Director of SUNOTEC Iberia, Ramos will focus on building the company’s presence in Iberia, Central America and the Caribbean, ensuring projects are optimised, sustainable, and aligned with local needs. Having managed both project delivery and sales in previous roles, he combines technical expertise with strong client relationship skills to drive SUNOTEC’s growth in the region.

Central America and the Caribbean are rapidly emerging as renewable energy hubs. With SUNOTEC’s proven ability to deliver turnkey PV plants and integrate cutting-edge technologies, we are perfectly positioned to provide solutions that are both economically viable and environmentally sustainable,” said Alejandro Ramos.

Bárbara Llinares, a mechanical engineer with 10+ years of experience in large-scale PV projects, complements the team as Turnkey Engineer Director Iberia & LATAM with her strong background in engineering design, project delivery, and client-focused execution. Llinares will focus on aligning SUNOTEC’s technical expertise with local regulatory requirements to establish a solid foundation for SUNOTEC’s presence in the new regions, while ensuring smooth project implementation and strong client relationships.

“SUNOTEC has the culture, experience, and innovation mindset to become a true strategic partner in LATAM. I look forward to structuring SUNOTEC’s presence in the region, ensuring we not only deliver high-performance projects but also create lasting value for local communities,” said Bárbara Llinares.

Local Presence, Global Expertise

The establishment of SUNOTEC Iberia reflects SUNOTEC’s belief that local presence is key to understanding market-specific challenges and building long-term partnerships. A local presence facilitates understanding of regional conditions and regulations, enables flexible responses, and allows for direct and prompt communication with clients, partners, and authorities. This proximity positions SUNOTEC as a strategic partner, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in a way that truly supports client needs and creates long-term value where demand for reliable, fast, and cost-efficient renewable energy solutions is accelerating.

With more than 11 gigawatts of PV capacity built worldwide, SUNOTEC has established itself as a trusted partner for large-scale solar development in Europe. With a growing project pipeline and expansion into emerging solar markets, SUNOTEC remains committed to delivering high-quality renewable energy solutions globally. The new division is expected to play a critical role in securing major contracts and exploring manufacturing opportunities in the region.

 

Bernhard Suchland, CEO of SUNOTEC, emphasised the importance of this milestone:


“Expanding into Iberia and LATAM is not just a geographic step; it is a strategic leap. These markets are critical for the global energy transition, and SUNOTEC’s integrated approach allows us to deliver solar projects that combine technical excellence with economic efficiency."
