Solar Panels for Colombia
Law 1715 + 2099 Tax Ready (2026)

IEC 61215 + IEC 61730 required (we provide). RETIE (Reglamento Técnico de Instalaciones Eléctricas) mandatory for all grid-connected electrical equipment — approved by ONAC-accredited lab. CREG (Comisión de Regulación de Energía y Gas) regulation for utility interconnection. For projects seeking Law 1715/2014 or Law 2099/2021 tax benefits: UPME (Unidad de Planeación Minero Energética) pre-registration required. JUSTSOLAR provides full cert bundle + RETIE pathway.

Law 1715/2014 + Law 2099/2021 provide 4 key benefits: (1) 50% income tax deduction of investment over 15 years, (2) Accelerated depreciation 5 years, (3) VAT exclusion on equipment purchase, (4) Import duty exemption on equipment. Combined: ~30-40% IRR boost on most C&I projects. UPME certification required before applying. Our local partners help with documentation.

Shanghai → Buenaventura (Pacific): 40-46 days via direct Pacific route. Cartagena (Caribbean): 45-50 days via Panama Canal. Add 5-7 days factory production if no stock. Customs clearance at Buenaventura typically 5-10 days (congestion varies). Total order-to-site: 7-8 weeks typical for Cali/Southwest; 8-10 weeks for Bogotá/Medellín (inland transport from Cartagena).

No. Colombia currently has no anti-dumping duties on Chinese solar modules. Standard MFN import duty ~5% (often waived under Law 1715/2021 for certified projects). VAT 19% (also waived for certified solar projects). For certified projects, effective tax is near-zero. For non-certified retail: standard duties apply.

Both are growing. Utility-scale: La Guajira wind + solar complex (1+ GW planned), Caribbean coast + Córdoba auctions. C&I: industrial rooftop (Medellín textile + Bogotá beverage/food + Cali sugar industry) accelerating due to high peak tariffs. Distributed generation under 5MW uses simpler CREG framework. JUSTSOLAR supplies all segments.

Payment terms are confirmed in the formal PI. For new Colombian buyers and most first orders, JUSTSOLAR uses 100% T/T before shipment. Any exception requires written approval from Frank and will be stated in the PI. USD denominated always (COP not international).

We supply C&I EPCs in Bogotá, Medellín, Cali. Industrial rooftop in Barranquilla free zone, Cartagena port industrial. Utility-scale developers in La Guajira + Córdoba + Atlántico. Spanish support via Frank — see also our Spanish wholesale pricing + vs LONGi comparison.
