In Colombia, it is essential to comply with certain regulations and certifications to ensure the quality and safety of electrical installations and take advantage of the benefits of renewable energies.
RETIE (Technical Regulation of Electrical Installations): This regulation guarantees the safety and quality of electrical installations in the country. For solar panels, the RETIE requires certification for systems connected to the electrical grid (ON-GRID). This regulation evaluates the design, calculations and compliance with the standards necessary to ensure a safe and efficient installation.
UPME (Mining Energy Planning Unit): UPME certifies renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, allowing companies and individuals to access tax and tariff benefits. In addition, UPME certification is key to connecting your solar project to the electrical grid, ensuring that it meets all technical and regulatory requirements.
