About the Project
The client wanted a solar installation to lower their energy bills and provide security against blackouts. Marblanc Solar installed an 8kW solar energy system, which will reduce electricity costs by over €1,776 a year.
Background
Located in Urbanización El Hornillo, Mijas Costa, this villa is used year-round and had seen rising energy costs. The homeowner wanted to make the most of the property’s excellent solar exposure while also finding a solution for occasional power cuts.
Marblanc Solar has completed numerous solar installations in Mijas. After the client requested a free solar survey, our team carried out an on-site visit, performed a drone inspection, completed a shading study, and provided a detailed proposal optimised for efficiency and aesthetics.
Our solar survey engineer confirmed that the villa’s average annual energy bill was around €2,040, translating to approximately €170 per month.
During planning, the client mentioned they might later convert part of the roof area into a terrace. To accommodate this, we designed the installation layout to keep key sections of the roof clear.
The final proposal featured 14 JA Solar 595W panels paired with an 8kW Huawei inverter and a 3kW essential load system. This combination provided high output and resilience while maintaining space for future home improvements, with an expected break-even period of five to six years.
Equipment Installed
- 14x JA Solar 595W N-Type high-efficiency solar panels
- 1x Huawei 8KTL solar inverter
- 1x 3kW essential load backup box
Solution
Our team installed a sleek and efficient 8kW solar system using 14 JA Solar panels on the villa’s roof in Urbanización El Hornillo. The placement was optimised to capture sunlight throughout the day while preserving part of the roof area for a potential future terrace.
The installation was completed swiftly over two days with no disruption to the client’s daily routine. All cabling was concealed to maintain a clean finish, and the essential load system was configured to ensure that critical circuits would remain powered during blackouts.
As part of our post-installation support, we then secured an exclusive solar feed-in tariff with a virtual battery.
We also monitored the client’s electricity usage every day for two weeks to help optimise their appliance usage with plug timers and use of our solar app. Finally, we assigned the client to one of our Monday-Sunday WhatsApp aftercare groups, should they have any questions.
Results
The client was delighted with the results – an 87% reduction in annual electricity costs and complete satisfaction with the discreet, future-proof design.
