The South Oracle

TSO is a R&D consulting and engineering company specialized in opening new markets for solar energy through innovation. TSO is in solar business since 1995 focused all these years in distributed generation (DRRG), achieving a positive differentiation for its customers based on innovative solutions that help socialize solar energy and turn it into a commodity for any user. To do that, the most important part of the solar system is the generator and further applications, so TSO has registered 10 patents and more than 100 scientific publications in those topics.

TSO executes photovoltaic engineering, especially in BIPV, thanks to its exclusive solar flexible panel, PSFU-eArche. The panel brings versatility to the industry since it can be manufactured in different powers, colors and even shapes.

In Dubai, Etihad ESCO contacted TSO to design the first BIPV installation to existing carport in EMEA with its PSFU-eArche, which received the approval from DEWA last December and is already part of eligible equipment. The solar PV carport is in the Emirates Towers and will feed energy to the MOTF. TSO has established an LLC company due to the potential of this region in DRRG.

Apart from the engineering projects and distributing solar flexible modules, TSO has several customers for doing SolarLeasing projects in the area since TSO is an expert in private PPAs. TSO connected the first Chilean solar PV residential installation to the grid in 2013 and signed the first rooftop solar PV private PPA in Spain for 10 years in 2017.
