Photovoltaic solar installation in homes, what do we take into account?

Solar energy is a great ally for families, since it drastically reduces their high energy costs. With the current energy crisis, electricity prices have skyrocketed, making monthly bills unsustainable. That's why now is the best time to install solar panels at home.

In this article we are going to share What do we take into account as professionals in the sector when carrying out an installation solar photovoltaic. So if you are thinking of moving to self-consumption, we invite you to read our methodology and do it with us.

How much electricity does my home consume? Consumption analysis

The first step we do is analyze your electricity bills, in order to know what your home's electricity consumption is being. With this, we will know which months consumption skyrockets and, very importantly, the times of the day when the use of light is highest.

With this information, we can now quantify the amount of energy your home needs, therefore, know how many solar panels will be necessary to meet demand.

What does my home need? Evaluation of the installation

Taking into account the consumption needs of your family and the characteristics of the home, we evaluate the photovoltaic solar installation. At this point, We propose a project, in which we try to cover as much as possible the consumption you need, while minimizing surpluses.

Also, we evaluate if a solar battery is necessary, to accumulate the surpluses that your photovoltaic solar installation may produce. This possibility will depend on the number of plates your home needs and your family's consumption habits.

Is my roof adequate? Technical aspects of the photovoltaic solar installation

At this point, our engineers verify that the installation is feasible, taking into account the space, orientation, inclination and possible shadows of your roof. In our article My roof, a source of savings and energy, we explain in more detail the importance of the roof so that the installation is, firstly, viable, and secondly, cost-effective.

If everything is correct, we start working on the installation preparations, the most important piece being the support structure. This allows solar panels to be installed on a roof.

What steps do I have to take? Full administration

At Eltex we take care of all the bureaucratic procedures regarding the installation, so You don't have to worry about anything. While our technical team is working to make the self-consumption installation a reality, our administration team is responsible for legalizing the entire process.
