Saving Money Today For A Better Future
Currently, the cost of energy bills is becoming a significant issue for people in Spain.
Yet, we passively accept the rising costs of kilowatt-hours set by these companies as if we have no alternatives. Does this mean we are foolish? Or are we simply too complacent to seek solutions to this absurd dilemma? Perhaps we lack trust in emerging alternatives?
This concern addresses just the economical and more self-centered aspect of the issue. By consuming energy from these companies, we are contributing to the destruction of our planet. It’s widely acknowledged that the Earth, as we know it, is facing a limited future. If we fail to curb the CO2 emissions causing global warming, the legacy we leave for our children and grandchildren will be a barren, desolate world where survival is a privilege enjoyed by few.
We must evolve, but it should be as a responsible society, not by turning a blind eye to the future as we have done until now.
Spain has 75% of its territory at risk of becoming a desert. If this country doesn’t take drastic measures, will be one of the driest countries in the world by year 2040.
In addition, the ocean absorbs around 23% of annual anthropogenic CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, destroying the habitat of millions of species.
The negative climate trend will continue for the next decades, regardless of our success in mitigation, which is why it is important to invest in adaptation, not only at the government or state level, but starting each one from home, minimizing impacts individually.
In neighborhood communities, individual homes and even on leisure and industrial areas. The benefits are “countless”, but we summarize them in two KPIs:
We conduct a thorough feasibility study, taking into account the unique spatial requirements and electricity consumption patterns of each customer. Our commitment is to guarantee that every installation is perfectly tailored and aligned with the areas of highest energy generation, ensuring optimal sizing and efficiency.
As soon as the budget receives your approval, we take care of everything for you. This comprehensive approach is what we like to call a 'turnkey' solution. Your role primarily involves handling the building permit, which is now a straightforward process involving a responsible declaration and the payment of certain fees. Although simple, this step is essential and must be completed by you. We're here to guide you through every stage, providing detailed information about the requirements, which may vary from one municipality to another. The necessary documents typically include a copy of the house owner's DNI, a copy of the latest IBI showing cadastral data, a responsible declaration, payment of the fee, and not much else. Once the permit is requested (approval isn't necessary at this stage), we can proceed to the next step: initiating the installation.
The assembly or installation process typically takes about one week, although this can vary depending on the technical complexity involved. A photovoltaic system comprises three key components: the solar panels, the inverter (which transforms the energy generated by the panels into alternating current for grid integration), and a smart meter to continuously monitor your energy production. Upon completing the installation and its activation, we handle all the necessary legal and administrative procedures. For shared self-consumption installations, we register the system with the Ministry of Industry and notify the distributor about each neighbor’s participation coefficients, enabling them to update the energy suppliers. This might sound complex, but we provide clear explanations to homeowner associations. If there are any available subsidies, rest assured, we also manage the application process for you.
Both the equipment and the installation in general, have temporary guarantees that we define below:
12-year warranty (lifetime: 30 years)
5 year warranty
2 year warranty
“Initially, securing the agreement of at least one-third of the neighbors is essential for the installation of the panels. Once this threshold is met, the community is obligated to allocate space for the installation, though the costs will be borne exclusively by the participating residents.
Conversely, if the proposal garners the support of at least three-fifths of the neighborhood, the installation will be treated as a communal asset, akin to an elevator or any other shared facility. In this scenario, the expense is shared among the entire community of neighbors, funded through common resources, special assessments, financing options, etc.
After receiving the neighborhood council’s approval for the facility, it’s crucial to determine and document in the meeting minutes the distribution coefficient for each resident’s participation. This coefficient is pivotal as it determines the percentage of the generated energy each participant will benefit from.”
