News Costa Rica Confirms Energy Storage Project by Proquinal
The companies Proquinal – a member of the Spradling Group – and Swissol, accompanied by government authorities, inaugurated the largest and most innovative project for the storage of alternative energy in Costa Rica, which will help reduce the pressure on public electricity generation while also contributing to the country''s carbon neutrality strategy.
To capture solar energy, the Proquinal Costa Rica headquarters in Coyol de Alajuela, installed a covered parking lot with 690 solar panels – an efficient use of space. The captured energy is subsequently stored in an innovative battery system, the only of its kind in Costa Rica. The project exceeds $2M in investment.
This system allows for the implementation of 4.3 MWh (1.5 MW Peak) in storage capacity, through lithium batteries that are charged mainly during the night rate, which has a lower cost, and with the intermediate rate known as "the valley." The solar panels allow for generation of 255 KW.
This stored energy is delivered to the production process at the Proquinal Costa Rica plant, during the two peak periods or the period of the highest demand, which range from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and again from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.; these periods represent the times when the cost of energy is highest. Notably, electricity purchased from public sources during peak periods is 4.5 times more expensive than the night rate. This system will aid the company in saving approximately US$41,000 per month, which allows for return on investment over a period of 4.3 years.
Moisés Hernández, General Manager of Proquinal in Costa Rica, commented that the project''s inauguration represents a solid lesson in the intelligent use of energy, as well as an advance in and contribution to the country''s goals in renewable energies. Additionally, he stressed that these types of project are possible, thanks to the legal security that Costa Rica provides to Free Trade Zones.
"With knowledge, experience, and advice from Swissol, we have launched this project to allow us to minimize our consumption from the National Grid and reduce the cost of electric energy, an aspect that will undoubtedly allow us to continue reducing costs and guaranteeing the competitiveness of Costa Rica in attracting foreign direct investment," Hernández stated.
According to Reto Rechsteiner, Founder and President of Swissol, for this type of lithium battery system, "Worldwide, there are only a few companies that can offer equipment of this magnitude. Fortunately, with Rolls Royce Solutions, an English-German company, we have found the perfect partner to carry out this project," he assured.

In the residential environment of Costa Rica, energy efficiency is an increasingly relevantpriority. Solar microgrids emerge as an innovative and secure solution to meet the energyneeds of homes in the coastal areas of the country. This article explores what solarmicrogrids are and how they can enhance energy consumption management and control inyour home.
Solar microgrids are energy generation and management systems that combine solar panelswith energy storage, such as batteries, and an intelligent control infrastructure. Thesenetworks operate autonomously or are connected to the main grid, providing energyflexibility and stability. In Costa Rica, solar microgrids are becoming a popular solution inenergy-intensive homes due to their ability to provide energy backup, electrical stability, andoptimize the use of renewable resources in residences.
Solar microgrids provide a continuous energy source, reducing the risk of power supply interruptions. This is especially crucial in areas with less developed electrical infrastructure.
By generating their own energy, homes can significantly reduce their operating costs. Microgrids allow for the storage of excess energy generated during the day for nighttime use, optimizing energy consumption.
Utilizing solar energy contributes to reducing carbon emissions and promotes sustainable practices.
With a microgrid, residences have greater control over their energy generation and consumption, allowing them to be less dependent on the traditional electrical grid.
