Background
The client had recently purchased a villa in the La Sella neighbourhood, in Denia, on the Costa Blanca.
MiSolar is the top-rated solar installer in this region with many solar installations in Denia. The client found our website while searching online, and asked to get a quote. We set a date to carry out a home visit and a Q&A, before returning to our office in Javea to complete a savings estimation and custom proposal.
As the villa was recently purchased, the client did not have a bill to show consumption patterns in electricity.
But we learned the client works online from home, and has servers that need constant power. He also wanted to be able to have air conditioning and a pool pump running without worrying about monthly cost.
Following adjustments, our final proposal featured 14 solar panels and a 10kWh battery which is expected to reduce his electricity costs by 100% – this will leave a monthly bill of €29, which is the standing charge.
The estimated break-even period is 4 years.
Equipment Installed
- 14x JA Solar 595W N Type Bifacial solar panels
- 1x Huawei Luna 2000 10kWh solar battery
- 1x Huawei solar inverter
Installation
Our in-house installed team mounted 14 solar panels with a combined capacity of 8.33kW on four different south-facing roof sections on the client’s property.
The client did not want the solar inverter in plain site, so our team diligently wired the system in a way that it went into a void in his underbuild, where it gets airflow but remains accessible.
He also had a very old electricity consumer unit – so much it was no longer compliant under REBT regulations in Spain. We removed it and installed a brand new consumer unit with all materials up to date and with safer protections, so that both the client and us both have peace of mind that the home is protected correctly.
The client eventually wants to have a backup system installed, so we have prepared the installation in such a way that it will facilitate a future upgrade. In the meantime, we installed a 10kWh solar battery to provide enough power to his servers throughout the night.
As part of our post-installation support, we will follow up with a free maintenance check. We also remain just a phone call away for any questions or issues.
Results
The client is very tech-savvy and wanted to integrate the system with his smart home automation. We selected the Huawei inverter specifically as it allows for such integrations, so the client was pleased he could write it into his other apps via API.
