Is commercial solar worth it?
Businesses that use electricity during the day are the best solar customers there are. Refrigeration, kitchens, cooling, lighting and machinery run while the panels produce, so most of the energy is used on site and payback is usually faster than for a home.
Designed from your demand data
We start with your bills and, where available, the hourly consumption data from your distributor. That shows the base load, the daytime peaks and the weekends or seasons when the business is quiet. We size the array to cover dependable daytime demand rather than to fill the roof.
Businesses we work with
- Restaurants, bars and cafés with refrigeration, kitchens and air conditioning
- Hotels, holiday-let complexes and guest houses
- Shops, supermarkets and showrooms
- Offices and clinics
- Warehouses, workshops and industrial units in the polígonos around Málaga, Marbella and Estepona
- Residential communities with common-area lighting, lifts and pool pumps
Roofs, landlords and leases
If you rent your premises, the landlord's consent and the length of your lease matter. We can provide the technical information a landlord needs. On larger roofs we check the structure, fire access routes and space for the inverter and protection equipment.
Installation without disrupting trade
We plan the work around your opening hours and keep the shutdown for connection as short as possible. Monitoring lets you and us see production and spot faults quickly.
Paperwork
We handle the electrical certification, registration and the arrangements for surplus energy. Larger systems can need additional permits and grid access procedures; we tell you at the start which apply.
Questions we are often asked
How big a system does my business need?
It depends on your daytime consumption. We size from your bills and hourly data so most of the generation is used on site.
Do businesses need a battery?
Usually not at first. If you use most of your power during the day, more panels typically give a better return than storage.
Can I install solar on a rented unit?
Yes, with the landlord's agreement. A longer lease makes the investment easier to justify.
Can a residential community install solar?
Yes. Communities can cover common areas or share energy between owners. See apartments and communities.
