A BETTER STARTING BRIEF
Solar planning tool for Costa del Sol properties
Explore a defensible system range and the questions your survey should answer. This is an educational planning aid—not a quotation, production simulation or financial promise.
PLANNING OUTPUT
2.5–3.3 kWp
Indicative array range to investigate
Start with solar-only economics. Strong daytime use can reduce the amount of surplus available to charge a battery.
Questions for the survey and quotes
- Use twelve consecutive monthly bills, not one summer bill.
- Note any pool equipment planned for the next two years.
- Include planned cooling or heat-pump loads before sizing.
- Allow only for future EV charging that is genuinely planned.
- Ask every quote for monthly production, direct-use assumptions and exported-energy treatment.
HOW TO USE THE OUTPUT
Take the range to the roof and the bills.
The range uses a deliberately broad Costa del Sol planning yield and caps production against annual demand. It does not know the roof orientation, shade, structural condition, export tariff or interval consumption.
A competent proposal should replace these assumptions with a measured roof layout, monthly production model and property-specific load profile. Compare a smaller solar-only option before adding panels or storage to absorb avoidable exports.
