About the Project
The client wanted a solar installation to bring down high electricity bills at their newbuild villa in Puerto de la Duquesa, Manilva. Marblanc Solar installed a 9.04kW solar energy system, which will also reduce electricity costs by over €2,268 a year.
Background
Our client in Puerto de la Duquesa, Manilva, wanted to go solar because their electricity bills were unexpectedly high for a new-build villa.
Marblanc Solar has completed many solar installations in Manilva. Our process starts with the Free Solar Survey – which includes an on-site visit, drone analysis, shading scan, and a tailored proposal.
During the site visit, our survey engineer confirmed the client was spending around €3,296 a year on electricity before going solar.
Our final proposal was tailored to the client’s request not to add more than two rows of solar panels. So we used our Pylon software to simulate production and optimise placement for 16 panels – despite this setup not being enough to cut electricity costs by 80% or more.
Based on the client’s current spend and expected post-solar bills, our installation is forecast to cut electricity costs by roughly €2,269 a year.
Equipment Installed
- 16x JA Solar 565W solar panels
- 1x Huawei SUN2000-5KTL inverter (5kW)
- 1x Huawei SUN2000-3.68KTL inverter (3.68kW)
- 1x Huawei LUNA2000-7-S1 solar battery (6.9kWh)
- 1x Huawei back-up box
- Sunfer MicroRail flat-roof mounting structures
Solution
Our team installed a 9.04kW system made up of 16 JA Solar panels, designed to balance strong production with the client’s preference to avoid adding extra panels.
Because the roof was flat, we installed the panels on angled Sunfer MicroRail structures for improved yield. We kept cabling neat and protected to maintain the clean finish expected on a newbuild home.
We also installed a Huawei backup box and solar battery. This was to provide blackout protection in the event of frequent power cuts in the area.
As part of our post-installation support, we then secured an exclusive solar feed-in tariff with a virtual battery.
We also 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
With 16 panels, a Huawei battery, and a back-up box, the client is set to reduce annual electricity spend by over €2,268 a year (around a 69% reduction) while also gaining protection against power cuts, all delivered with a discreet, tidy finish suited to a modern villa.
