Is it worth it?
Often, yes, especially where a pool pump, irrigation or security systems run all year, or where the property is let. The key is not to size it for the busiest weeks.
Size for the year
We look at occupied and empty months separately. Equipment that runs year-round, like pool filtration, fridges and alarms, forms the base load.
Remote monitoring
Every system we install has an app showing production and consumption. You see if something stops working, wherever you are.
Batteries
A battery often does not pay back in a lightly used property. A virtual battery tariff can be a better way to make use of surplus. See physical vs virtual.
Installing while you are away
We can arrange access with you, a neighbour or a property manager, and send photos and updates as the work progresses.
Holiday lets
Guests use air conditioning and pools heavily. Solar cuts the running cost of a busy let.
Questions we are often asked
Can you install while I am not in Spain?
Yes. We arrange access with you or your property manager.
What happens to the electricity when the house is empty?
It powers the base load and the rest is exported and credited against your bill.
