8 Solar Panels in Els Poblets, Alicante

The client’s electricity bills were running at over €300 a month – €3,667 a year – and they wanted a system that would make a meaningful long-term difference, not just offset a portion of daytime consumption. Evening energy use was a priority, which made battery storage an important part of the brief from the outset.

For other installations in Alicante, the starting point is always a free solar survey – an on-site visit that combines drone analysis, shading assessment, consumption modelling, and a tailored proposal built around the property’s specific characteristics and the client’s actual usage patterns.

At this property, survey engineer Enrique Ferreiro carried out a detailed energy assessment that took into account:

• A split roof layout across two separate planes, both on a south-west facing aspect
• Mature tree cover to the north and west, with the south-west face remaining largely unobstructed for afternoon and evening generation
• Annual electricity spend of €3,667 – above average for a residential property
• The client’s need for evening energy use, which directly informed the battery storage recommendation

The south-west orientation of both roof sections means the system peaks in production during the afternoon – precisely when a 5kWh battery can capture surplus generation and hold it for use after sunset. Our energy modelling confirmed that adding the Huawei LUNA2000-5-S0 battery would push the system’s self-consumption rate from 58% (solar only) to 77%, with storage accounting for an additional 10% of the home’s energy needs. The proposal projected annual savings of €1,576 and a first-year average monthly bill of €174 – down from €305.
