Dear friends,

Javier Landero Cruz CEO of GPTech

After more than a decade of dedication, GPTech continues growing upon its base, built on a solid and singular knowledge on energy integration, ready to overcome every new barrier that our customers could find in the development of new projects within the energetic revolution in which we are immersed. In recent years we have participated in many relevant projects, achieving new and innovative ways to solve the hardest technological and operational challenges- This makes our company a reference in the renewable energy sector, especially when environmental and grid stability conditions aren’t favorable to the use of new renewable energy sources.

Analyzing the sector’s evolution, we detect a strong trend to choose the renewable way to solve the lack of energy in regions with high difficulty of access to conventional sources. Furthermore, if we take into account the strong commitment of major and emerging economies with the development of dis-tributed generation. We believe that now it is the time of making possi-ble the smart use of new solutions based on the in-formation technology joined with a solid knowledge of grid management and especially in power elec-tronic applications.

In order to face these challenges, GPTech has developed a range of solutions and products looking for reliability, efficiency and specially flexibility to give an early answer to our customers. With the release of the family WD3.0 of power converters, we are giving response to the market trend of raising voltage level of the power source in both the field of photovoltaic panels and in battery groups. Along with this hardware development, we offer the most advanced control algorithms allowing our systems to give integrated solutions to the key technological challenges of Grid Operation and Power Quality.

Obviously, difficulties will always remain... a continuous improvement through innovation combined with a strong investment in the research and development of new products is key to further enhance our capabilities, always thinking in our vision of “Being a Model in the Energetic Revolution”, to continue supporting our clients with the best solutions.

Technologies that add value ...

PROFITTo achieve the maximum bene-fit and increase profitability, it is necessary to obtain the best performance in all situations.

The success of a sustainable in-crease of renewable generation into national transmission grid is based on its stable behavior.

Our solutions are the key to de-liver the highest quality power signal with the best performance.

We are pioneers in developing solutions for utility-scale with great complexity in grid inte-gration, operating since 2002 in places like Vietnam, Galapagos (Ecuador), Puerto Rico, Jamaica, South Africa or Maldives Islands.

RELIANCEBecause we offer a contrasted experience in grid integration under the hardest ambient condition and most demanded technical requirements. Today, GPTech is a leader com-pany in the development of power electronic devices all over the world, which uses the state of the art technology to provide new solutions for the Energy Sector.

GPTech is a consolidated tech-nological reference in the major markets, as well as those who are increasing their energy capa-city as South Africa, Chile or Peru.

The expertise of our team allows to adjust the timing of network integration and to overcome the most demanding requirements, adding robustness to the grid.

CAPACITYIn a field where technology ad-vances so fast, it is critical to select partners with the neces-sary experience and confiden-ce to overcome every techno-logical and financial barriers. We offers advanced manage-ment systems that allow a more agile, predictable and contro-llable way to meet the needs of the network operators, re-gardless of the energy sources.

This capability has allowed us to collaborate with different or-ganisms in the development of grid connection requirements, which have become an inter-national reference for the sus-tainable growth of renewables.

6

In GPTech we are committed to society in all aspects, and we are con-

vinced that the sum of little gestures can make great changes.

The environment is our natural allied, so we take care of it every day

and demanding to the ones around us doing the same. We boost our

innovation in electronics technology towards achieving social and en-

vironmental improvements.

The company is always involved in different social causes, trying to

maximize the benefit for our clients, suppliers, and the society as a

whole, promoting a culture of continuous improvement in the mana-

gement of all processes and activities.

We also care about a healthy life for our crew, promoting sport com-

petitions and other social activities that foster their companionship.

Corporate Social Responsability

7

Our activity is developed following a ethical code which cornersto-

ne are our commitment to employees’ rights and the respect for

the environment.

Because we only understand a way to work where responsability

and honesty, fairness, accuracy and transparency are essentials

the points...

A real sustainable future depends on ethical commitments

8

Our main objective is to enable the emergence of new opportunities for the development of clean and sustainable energy even under the hardest conditions.

With this philosophy we have developed and provided the power plant control for Mount Sig-nal, one of the biggest PV Plant operating in USA with 256 MW.

Moreover, this ability is what has made us the leaders in complex enviroments, providing our solutions in the first utility scale plants in diffe-rent locations as Chile, Argentina, Perú, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Guatemala or Honduras.

We are ready to successfully face the new tech-nological challenges of the energy industry, to ensure that energy arrives in the best conditions of stability for more people every day and elimi-

nate all barriers in his way.
