About the Project

The client wanted a solar installation to reduce their high electricity bills. Marblanc Solar installed a 6.72kWp solar energy system, which will also reduce electricity costs by over €2,284 a year.

Background

The homeowner in Balcón de Benavista, Benahavis, contacted us because they were concerned about their consistently high electricity bills and wanted a long-term solution to reduce their monthly outgoings.

Marblanc Solar has completed many successful installations in Benahavis, so we were well-equipped to help. The first step was to schedule our comprehensive free solar survey, which includes an on-site visit, a detailed drone analysis of the roof, a shading scan to check for obstructions, and the creation of a tailored proposal.

During the visit, our survey engineer learned that the client was spending over €3,900 a year on electricity.

The client’s main request was to maximise energy production to achieve the highest possible savings. Using our Pylon design software, we simulated the potential output and calculated the optimal placement for the solar panels on the villa’s roof, ensuring the final proposal was precisely tailored to meet their energy needs and financial goals.

Our proposal detailed how the system would reduce their electricity bills by over €2,284 a year, bringing their average monthly bill down from around €326 to just €135.

Equipment Installed

  • 16 x JA Solar DeepBlue 3.0 Pro JAM54S31-420/LR 420W solar panels
  • Huawei SUN2000-6KTL-L1 6kW solar inverter
  • Huawei LUNA2000-7-S1 6.9kWh solar battery
  • Sunfer Microrail System 61H-EN

Solution

Following the client’s approval, our team of certified technicians installed the 6.72kWp solar energy system. The 16 panels, inverter, and battery were strategically placed on the villa’s main roof area to maximise sun exposure throughout the day.

Our installers ensured all cabling was hidden neatly for a clean aesthetic, protected the existing roof structure during the process, and securely mounted the solar panels to withstand extreme weather conditions. The entire installation was completed faster than the client expected.

As part of our post-installation support, we then secured an exclusive solar feed-in tariff with a virtual battery.

We then 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 new solar energy system is now generating significant savings for the client, cutting their annual electricity costs by over €2,284 with a projected break-even point of just 6-7 years. The final installation delivered a fantastic 58% reduction in their monthly electricity bill. While our standard proposals aim for 80% savings or more, this client requested an adjusted proposal due to aesthetic concerns, and we were happy to accommodate their specific needs for their property in Benahavis.
