About the Project
The client wanted a solar installation to reduce the property’s electricity expenses. Marblanc Solar installed a 10kW solar energy system, which will reduce costs by over €2,472 a year.
Background
This project took place in the La Capellania urbanisation in Benalmádenar. Despite not being occupied full-time, the client wanted to reduce the home’s standing energy costs and make the most of Benalmádena’s sunshine.
Marblanc Solar has completed many solar installations in Benalmadena, and the client requested a free solar survey from us. We set a date for our survey engineer to carry out an on-site visit, drone scan, shading analysis, and create a detailed energy proposal.
During the home visit, our survey engineer found that the property’s annual electricity bill was around €3,450, averaging approximately €287 per month.
During discussions, the client explained that while a larger 21kW system would have been ideal, it was outside their current budget. This shaped our proposal towards a 10kW solution that balanced savings with investment cost while maintaining strong year-round performance.
The final proposal featured 16 high-efficiency 595W JA Solar panels positioned across the villa’s top roof to capture power from the south-east and west-facing slopes—ensuring energy generation from morning through evening.
The setup included a Huawei 10kW inverter, 10kW solar battery, and UPS Smart Guard system, with an expected break-even period of six to seven years.
Equipment Installed
- 16x JA Solar 595W N-Type high-efficiency solar panels
- 1x Huawei 10KTL solar inverter
- 1x Huawei 10kW battery system
- 1x UPS Smart Guard (configured for limited UPS capability due to 5kW battery discharge capacity)
Solution
Our team installed a 10kW solar energy system comprising 16 JA Solar panels spread across the villa’s main roof sections. The design maximised exposure to different sun angles, allowing steady generation across morning, midday, and evening hours.
The installation was completed neatly over two days, with all cables concealed for a clean aesthetic finish. The inverter and Smart Guard UPS system were installed in an easily accessible area, allowing the client to maintain limited backup functionality within the 5kW battery discharge limit.
As part of our post-installation support, we then secured an exclusive solar feed-in tariff with a virtual battery. The special electricity rates would have cut the client’s bill by 30% even without solar.
We also monitored the client’s electricity usage every day for two weeks to suggest ways to optimize their appliance usage and set up plug timers. Then, we assigned the client to one of our Monday-Sunday WhatsApp aftercare groups, should they have any questions, and to schedule their first free annual check-up.
Results
The client was pleased to see substantial annual savings despite part-time property use.
