FAQ

Are solar energy systems expensive?

No, not now! Our solar systems are a cost-effective and efficient option. The great benefit of being in Spain is the high number of sun hours we experience every year. It is now very common to see annual return of over 20% on solar energy investments with a Payback of less than 5 years. Many people consider solar to be the best and most risk-free investments currently available. With solar energy, you are effectively buying your own power station. Each time the utility companies increase their prices your solar energy investment becomes even more attractive. You can now expect your solar system to pay for itself in 4-6 years and then you will have a further 20+ years of free energy!

What is the life expectancy of a solar electricity system?

As we use only the very best quality components, you can expect to get 30 years from your solar system. In addition, many of the components we use are guaranteed for up to 25 years

Can I produce solar energy on cloudy days?

Yes, you can. The solar panels do not need direct sunshine to work, they can still generate electricity on cloudy days. However, the stronger the sunshine, the more electricity is produced.

What happens to the electricity that is produced but not used?

Solar Cloud and/or a battery............A number of utility companies will now buy any solar electricity you produce but do not use, or you can store the excess electricity in a battery for use during the night.

Do I need permission to install a solar electricity system?

Yes, you do. Permission needs to be obtained from your local municipality before the solar installation takes place. Solar in Spain is fully registered and licensed to obtain the necessary permission. We do this work on your behalf as part of the installation process to ensure your project is fully legal.
