About the Project
The client had recently purchased a villa in Marbella when they received a monthly bill for €1,800. Marblanc Solar installed a 15kW system, which has put them on to break even within two years.
Background
The client had recently purchased a villa in the El Rosario area of Marbella. They were shocked to receive a bill for €1,800 and wanted to reduce their monthly expenses.
Marblanc Solar has completed many solar installations in Marbella, including in the El Rosario area. The client requested a free solar survey following a referral from a neighbour, and we set a date to carry out a home visit, drone inspection, 3D shading analysis, savings estimation and custom proposal.
During the home visit, our survey engineer used cutting-edge solar software to design a system that would cut their electricity costs from €1,800 a month down to an average of €400.
Due to the client’s large bill, that’s an expected saving of €4,800 a year.
The client also requested a 21kWh battery to boost their savings during nighttime—when multiple AC units and a pool heater were running. Our proposal showed an expected break-even period of two years but we needed to install the panels on three different roof sections.
The client was happy with the 3D visualisation of where we recommended to place the solar panels, and proceeded with the installation.
Equipment Installed
- 36x JaSolar 420W solar panels
- 1x 15kWh solar battery
- 1x Huawei 8KTL solar inverter
- 1x Huawei 10KTL solar inverter
Solution
Our team mounted 36 solar panels with a combined capacity of 15.2kW. This solar array was distributed across three strings on three separate roof sections—this was a necessity due to the lack of sufficient space. We added optimisers on every panel to account for different outputs depending on shading, the angle of the sun, and different times of day.
Our in-house solar installers fit the cables without damage to any walls or tiles.
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 optimise 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 satisfied with the service from Marblanc Solar, especially our ability to achieve a fast break-even period on a tricky roof.
