About the Project
The client was paying around €7,000 a year on electricity at their home in Nueva Andalucía, Marbella. Marblanc Solar installed a 14kW system, which will help the owner save over €3,000 a year.
Background
The client requested a free solar survey from Marblanc Solar. We set a date for our survey engineer to complete a site visit, consultation and drone inspection of the roof.
During the home visit, the client showed our survey engineer a recent electricity bill; the client had paid €7,119 in the last year on electricity, around €593/ month. The bill was relatively large bill due to the property being an Airbnb rental equipped with high-power AC units, among other appliances.
The client’s primary goal was to reduce operating expenses.
However, the client didn’t want the panels to be overly visible from the property’s grounds. This limited the available space for solar panels and meant the client potentially wouldn’t be able to cut their bills by the usual 80% we aim for.
Based on our client’s requests, the results of our free solar survey showed the client could expect to save €2,999 a year on electricity costs. As such, the new average bill would be €340, instead of €593.
Following our proposal presentation and some adjustments, the client proceeded with the installation.
Equipment Installed
- 25x JaSolar 565W solar panels
- 1x Huawei 10KTL solar inverter & 1x Huawei 5KTL solar inverter
- 1x Huawei 10kWh solar battery
Solution
Ultimately, we mounted 25 solar panels with a combined capacity of 14.125kW. This system isn’t expected to cut the bill by 80%, as the client didn’t want too many solar panels installed for aesthetic reasons.
Following installation, we immediately compared solar feed-in tariff providers and selected the best option for the client. After the legal registration of the installation, we moved them to a new virtual battery deal.
As part of our post-installation support, we then monitored the client’s electricity usage every day for two weeks and assigned the client to one of our Monday-Sunday WhatsApp aftercare groups, in case they had any questions and to schedule their first free check-up.
Results
The client was satisfied with the service they received from Marblanc Solar, especially our ability to adapt a system around their aesthetic needs that still helped them reduce operating expenses for their rental business.
