Soltec strengthens its operations with the addition of Mariano Berges

• Mariano has more than 20 years of experience and worked on the development of 20 GW in renewable projects worldwide
• He joins Soltec Power Holdings as Chief Operating Officer (COO)

Soltec has brought on Mariano Berges as COO of the Soltec holding company. The executive, with more than 20 years of experience, has held various positions at renewable energy companies since 2005. With this addition, Soltec strengthens its operations and lays new groundwork for greater operational efficiency and sustainable growth.

Mariano Berges’s track record in the renewable energy sector is notable, not only for his extensive experience of more than two decades, but also for his key role in developing large-scale projects globally, totaling more than 20 GW in solar, wind and battery storage projects. His background as an Industrial Engineer, complemented by a Master’s degree in Renewable Energy and an Advanced Management Program (AMP) from IESE, gives him a solid technical and leadership foundation, broadly developed across different companies and countries.

Throughout his career, Mariano has held senior positions, from project management at INDRA and SOCOIN (Unión Fenosa Group, now Naturgy), to executive roles such as CTO and CCO at FRV, and most recently CCO at RPC. Among his most notable achievements are the co-founding of several renewable energy companies, leading the 20 MW Trujillo project in 2006, which was at the time the world’s largest solar project, creating FRV-X, FRV’s subsidiary for new business development, and the pioneering implementation of the first Tesla battery project in the UK in 2020.

Berges has shown exceptional ability in building multidisciplinary teams and expanding into new markets and business lines, having worked on projects in over a dozen countries, including South Africa, United Arab Emirates, China, Jordan, United States, Mexico, Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, India, Australia, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Finland and Poland.

“I approach this new opportunity at Soltec with great enthusiasm and commitment. I am fully dedicated to applying my experience and knowledge in renewable energy to drive the company’s growth and internal efficiency. I am strongly committed to sustainability and operational excellence”.

According to Raúl Morales, CEO of Soltec, “it is an honor for me to welcome Mariano Berges, a professional with a solid, well-recognized track record in the solar industry, who will undoubtedly help strengthen our operations and consolidate the company’s position as a global leader in the photovoltaic industry.”
