The installation of solar panels has become one of the smartest solutions for homes and businesses looking to save on their electricity bills and opt for a more sustainable energy model.
More and more people in Spain are deciding to take this step, motivated by the high price of electricity, concern for the environment and the attractive subsidies available.
The good news is that today's photovoltaic technology is more efficient and accessible than ever. A well-designed and executed solar panel installation can generate electricity for decades, with minimal maintenance and a quick return on investment thanks to monthly bill savings and available subsidies.
Another fundamental aspect is to have a specialized company in charge of the whole process. At Roscam, we take care of everything from the preliminary study and design of the system, to the installation of solar panels, their commissioning and subsequent maintenance. In addition, we manage the paperwork for subsidies, so that the customer can enjoy solar energy without complications.
In this blog we will solve all the most common doubts about the installation of solar panels.
How they work, their performance in different conditions, how much you can really save, what subsidies exist and some myths that should be banished.
If you are thinking of taking the plunge, this guide will help you understand why installing solar panels is one of the best investments you can make for your home or business.
How solar panels work
Installing solar panels is a process that converts sunlight into clean, usable electricity for your home or business. It all starts with photovoltaic panels, which capture solar radiation and transform it into direct current. This energy passes through an inverter, which converts it into alternating current so that it can power your appliances and electrical systems.
A solar panel installation can also include a battery system to store surplus energy for use when the sun is not shining, such as at night. If you don't have batteries, the surplus is fed into the grid, and thanks to surplus compensation you can further reduce your bill.
The key to an efficient solar panel installation lies in a good preliminary design. The orientation, roof slope, number of panels required and the user's energy consumption are studied. This ensures that the system produces as much energy as possible throughout the year.
How much you save with solar panels
The savings provided by a solar panel installation depend on the consumption, the size of the system and the energy profile of the user. In many cases, customers reduce their electricity bills by 50-80%.
In addition, if a battery system is added, the savings can be even greater, since more of the energy produced is used. And with surplus compensation, the return on investment can come within a few years.
Investing in a solar panel system is not only an ecological decision, but also an economic one. As the price of electricity rises, the profitability of the installation increases.
Grants and subsidies for solar panels?
In Spain, subsidies for the installation of solar panels have been a key driver for thousands of homes and businesses to take the step towards solar energy.
These subsidies usually come from European funds (such as the Next Generation EU), as well as from regional or municipal calls for proposals, and are designed to reduce the initial investment and encourage the use of renewable energies.
In many cases, these subsidies can cover a significant percentage of the cost of installing solar panels, and also offer additional tax advantages, such as deductions in IBI or IRPF. The amount and conditions vary according to the autonomous community and the time of the call.
Currently, there is no active call in force, but this is temporary. Throughout the year, several lines of aid are usually opened, and the deadline to apply for them can be limited. Therefore, it is very important to be well informed and to act quickly when they are published.
Having a team to manage all the paperwork and be aware of new calls for applications is essential to avoid missing opportunities. At Roscam, we continuously monitor grants and subsidies for the installation of solar panels, so that our clients can access the maximum possible financing as soon as a new call for applications is published.
