Solar engineering firm Sunotec has established a new Iberian division as part of a broader strategy to expand its footprint in Spain, Portugal, and key Latin American markets.
The newly formed unit, Sunotec Iberia, will be led by Alejandro Ramos as managing director, with Bárbara Llinares appointed as turnkey engineer director. The company said the move reflects its long-term commitment to growth in regions with strong solar potential.
“Expanding into Iberia and LATAM is not just a geographic step; it is a strategic leap,” said Sunotec chief executive Bernhard Suchland. “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.”
Sunotec has identified Latin America as a priority growth region, citing favourable solar conditions and increasing commitments to renewable energy. The company is targeting expansion in Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic over the next three years.
Ramos, who has nearly 10 years of experience in the renewable energy sector, will focus on expanding the company’s operations across the Iberian Peninsula, Central America, and the Caribbean.
“Central America and the Caribbean are rapidly emerging as renewable energy hubs,” Ramos said. “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.”
Llinares, a mechanical engineer with over a decade of experience in large-scale solar projects, will oversee technical alignment with local regulatory requirements and ensure effective project execution across the Iberian and Latin American markets.
“Sunotec has the culture, experience, and innovation mindset to become a true strategic partner in LATAM,” said Llinares. “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.”
The company’s expansion plans come amid growing demand for clean energy infrastructure in emerging solar markets and align with broader efforts to accelerate the global energy transition.
