Installing solar panels benefit from self-consumption now

Generating your electricity and saving money at the same time is possible thanks to solar panels. Without a doubt, this contemporary and innovative system is ideal for improving your domestic economy and joining the ecological transition. In this post, we are going to explain all its advantages and why now is the best time to install them with us.

Why use solar panel installers?

Photovoltaic energy is a future proposal that cannot be missing in your home. This is an opportunity for you to save every month and also reinforce your commitment to the environment. We want you to know why you need our solar panel installation service :

  • You consume renewable energy. Since they use an inexhaustible resource (the sun), you use a clean and ecological source for your domestic consumption.
  • Greater economic savings. In both the medium and long term, you can enjoy a reduction in your electricity bill that will help you to amortize the initial investment.
  • Energy sovereignty. By generating your energy, you will minimize your dependence on conventional supply and, therefore, on marketing companies.
  • Property appreciation. When you incorporate solar panels, you can increase the sale value of your property. According to industry figures, you do so by an average of 10-15%.
  • Low maintenance is required. Since they have no moving parts, you only need to have them checked once a year to keep them in perfect condition.
  • Zero environmental impact. They do not emit polluting gases, which means you will be reducing your carbon footprint and moving towards a climate-neutral consumption model.

As if all of the above were not enough, they also have a long lifespan. It is around 25 years, so you will receive these benefits for quite some time and always with a perfect adaptation to your domestic needs. How do we achieve this last point? Mainly, thanks to the 100% personalized installation service.

Types of solar panels for your home

Do you know which photovoltaic panels you can buy for your home? These are the options that you currently have at your disposal, and which are perfect for updating your energy consumption model. Go for green energy and start considering a comprehensive service that will install the panels directly in your home.

Thermal solar panels

This first option is based on the use of solar radiation to generate DHW (domestic hot water). You can use it for your boiler, but also conventional heaters or even radiators. In addition, it is compatible with air-water or water-water air conditioning systems. Thermal solar panels work thanks to a solar collector that obtains the sun’s rays to extract their energy. Then, it passes them through a system of pipes that heat the water. It is a fairly efficient system that will reduce energy costs and carbon emissions, and it is perfect for temperate climates and also for mountain climates.

Photovoltaic solar panels.

These devices obtain solar radiation and transform it into electricity through a photovoltaic phenomenon. In other words, the panels react through their cell system, which charges their electrons. They are made of silicon, which can be monocrystalline or polycrystalline, a material with high conductivity. As in the previous case, they produce renewable and clean energy. In addition, they have excellent performance in areas with plenty of hours of sunshine per year. Remember that the average in our country is 2,500 hours, so you are in the perfect environment to take advantage of this option.

Hybrid solar panels.

Hybrid solar panels have become popular in recent years. They combine the two types of panels to extract solar energy from both sides of the panel. This reduces energy loss and, consequently, increases efficiency. They allow sunlight to be transformed into electricity, but they also use it for hot water. They are ideal for areas where there is not always a direct and constant influence of the sun. They even work well in environments with cold climates or where there are not as many hours of sunshine. On the other hand, they prevent you from having to incorporate photovoltaic and thermal panels independently, which also saves space.

The average price range is between 3,000$ and 4,000$

including both the installation and the purchase of the equipment. We start with a medium-high range, as it is the best due to its durability, which is around 25 years. All panels require very little maintenance.

When we talk about incorporating solar batteries,

the cost rises to 5,000$ or 6,000$ However, you can benefit from compensation, that is, savings on your bill when you generate more energy than you can consume. To do this, the system will pour it directly into the supply network.
