LogNet Billing announced that the company has deployed its MaxBill solution for Amigo Solar, the first competitive provider of electricity for the regulated B2C market in Chile.

Amigo Solar owns and operates a portfolio of behind-the-meter distributed energy resources (DER), consisting of peak-demand storage systems, rooftop photovoltaic systems, smart meters and data loggers, which allow the company to manage and optimize their consumers’ demand and create more favorable economic conditions for the supply of electricity.

Amigo Solar deploys its proprietary Intelligent Solar Electricity Network platform (RESI – Red Eléctrica Solar Inteligente) in residential and office buildings, business parks, industrial facilities, shopping centers and other similar types of properties to aggregate demand and establish intelligent microgrids. Amigo Solar’s digitalized back office processes has enabled the company to become 100% customer-centric and disrupt a market that has historically been deprived of any form of competition.

Amigo Solar’s business model involves supplying renewable electricity to small (10 kW or less) and medium-sized (100 KW or less) consumers at competitive rates that are lower than the regulated rates offered by the incumbent regulated utilities in their respective concession areas of service.

The SaaS-based solution from LogNet Billing is used by Amigo Solar to handle all of the company’s customer management and billing activities. Amigo Solar relies on the advanced billing and reconciliation capabilities of MaxBill to support its multi-layered pricing schemes. 

Yuri Sylvester, Chief Business Development Officer, Amigo Solar
Looking at the bigger picture, LogNet’s extensive global experience in the competitive utilities sector and its dedicated project team along with the strengths of MaxBill will significantly contribute to our ability to capitalize on this disruptive market opportunity.

Kirill Rechter, CEO of LogNet Billing 
We are proud to be supporting Amigo Solar and its new energy supply operation with our modern approach to billing. Amigo Solar shows how an efficient and open billing platform can be immediately leveraged and serve as the base for building a profitable business and benefiting customers with a better service and lower costs.
