Organized by the Antofagasta Industrial Association (AIA), the previous edition of EXPONOR CHILE attracted 1,146 exhibitors from 32 countries, covering an exhibition area of over 50,000 square meters, setting a record among similar events in South America. The 2026 edition is expected to expand by 20%, with the newly added "PV + Energy Storage" integration zone set to be a major highlight.

Policy Incentives + Market Demand: Dual Drivers of Chile’s New Energy Boom 

Chile's government has launched the "2050 Carbon Neutrality Roadmap," aiming for 70% renewable energy share by 2030. Yet, the currently operational solar PV projects account for only 35% of the target, indicating vast development potential. 

At the same time, industry demand is surging: 

Copper mining companies have pledged to replace 30% of their electricity with green power by 2026, requiring at least 4.2GW of new PV installations;

Lithium giant SQM has launched a $500 million solar-storage project, which is expected to drive a green upgrade across the lithium battery supply chain. 

This "policy-driven + resource-driven" model is making Chile a hotbed for global renewable energy investments.

Project Roadshow Hall: Don’t Miss the 16.6GW of Opportunities 

During the expo, the organizers will host a dedicated "Project Roadshow Hall" showcasing 16.6GW of solar PV projects, all of which have obtained environmental approvals. These span a wide range of applications including distributed PV, utility-scale solar farms, and solar-powered hydrogen production. 

Notably, the 221MW Quillagua solar-plus-storage project (with 1.2GWh of energy storage), signed last year, will publicly release its operational data for the first time at the show. Its innovative "peak-valley arbitrage + ancillary services" business model could become a benchmark for future industry collaborations.

Global Buyers Converge: A Strategic Gateway to the South American Market 

As of July 2025, more than 3,000 professional buyers from 42 countries have registered, with 60% from the solar and energy storage sectors. National utilities such as Chile’s CGE and Argentina’s ENARSA have confirmed attendance. 

Even more encouraging is the rise of buyers from neighboring countries like Brazil and Peru, now accounting for 18% of total attendees, indicating that the exhibition’s influence is expanding across the entire South American Pacific Coast.

A New Chapter for Chinese Companies: From Exporting Products to Building Ecosystems 

With Chile set to implement a 30% localization requirement for PV modules, Chinese companies are accelerating their shift from equipment exporters to integrated solution providers. 

During the exhibition, the China-Chile New Energy Industry Matchmaking Conference will invite 50 local Chilean developers to explore cooperation models such as localized production and technology transfer. For Chinese companies with long-term strategic plans, this represents a golden opportunity to embed themselves into Chile’s energy ecosystem and seize first-mover advantages.

Multifit Solar Solutions: A Complete Chain of Technology for Harsh Environments 

As a leading innovator in China’s solar industry, Beijing Multifit Electrical Technology Co., Ltd. will showcase its flagship solutions at EXPONOR CHILE 2026. The company’s G2 Series intelligent cleaning robot, equipped with dual-mode dry and water cleaning, smart path planning, and remote-control systems, is engineered to handle the dusty and high-irradiation conditions of the Atacama Desert. It significantly improves panel cleanliness and extends service life. 

In addition, Multifit will also present its bifacial dual-glass solar modules and weather-resistant inverters—specially designed for high-irradiation zones—offering end-to-end solutions from energy generation to O&M for projects across Chile and neighboring countries.
