Frequently asked questions
How many panels do I need in Marbella?
Divide your annual consumption by 1,600. A home using 8,000 kWh needs roughly 5 kWp, which is 10-11 panels.
Do I need a battery?
Only if you are home in the evening, run A/C at night or want backup during outages. Otherwise surplus compensation pays better per euro invested.
Is my roof suitable?
South, south-east or south-west with no heavy shade between 10:00 and 16:00. Flat roofs are almost always fine.
What about the community of owners?
For apartment blocks a simple majority is enough under the Ley de Propiedad Horizontal; we prepare the technical dossier for the meeting.
