Improve the energy rating of your home in Lanzarote with solar panels!

The installation of solar panels is an excellent option to improve the energy rating of your home and reduce the electricity bill.

In this guide, we show you a practical example of how the installation of a photovoltaic system was carried out in a single-family house in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote.

The project consisted of the installation of 6 solar panels of 580W peak each, totalling 3,480W of installed capacity.

These panels were mounted on the roof of the house, on prefabricated concrete blocks with an inclination of 10 degrees, which ensures optimal capture of solar radiation in this area of Lanzarote.

For the conversion of solar energy into useable electrical energy, a 5000W Huawei SUN 2000 5KTL inverter was used, a key component that allows the generated energy to be compatible with the house's power grid.

This investor also manages the compensation of surpluses, which means that the owner can sell unused energy to Endesa's electricity grid.

The installation process was fast and efficient, carried out over 3 days including the installation, commissioning and configuration of the control app and security checks of the photovoltaic production.

The key steps are described below:

An analysis of the electricity consumption of the house and the space available on the roof was carried out to determine the feasibility of the project and the number of panels necessary to lead to the greatest possible savings.

We have also taken into account the current configuration of housing and its consumption as well as future extensions to maximise the consumption demand of housing

The arrangement of the panels was planned according to the aesthetic-practical preferences of the owners and the appropriate components were selected to maximise the efficiency of the system as well as its long-term safety.

This study is delivered free of charge and prior to the preparation of the budget of the installation and its procedures. In this way we inform the client of the different possibilities before deciding on a company

First we installed the inverter on the roof, then we did the wiring to the main panel and installation of the smart metre in the panel.

Later the DC fuses, then we place the blocks to the corresponding measures according to the previous design. Finally, the panels were installed and connected to the inverter.

The system was connected to the electrical network of the house and tests were carried out to ensure its correct operation and we checked if the production fits the peak power of the panels

Huawei's Fusion solar app was configured, which serves to monitor the installation and its productivity in real time, and the customer was explained how to use it.

Thanks to the solar energy generated, housing significantly reduces its dependence on the electricity grid, which translates into lower energy costs.

The energy not consumed is poured into the electricity grid, generating an economic compensation that helps to amortise the investment in a shorter time.

Homes with solar installations usually have a higher energy rating, which increases their value in the real estate market.

Not to mention that if the house is intended for holiday rental, it will be necessary to improve the energy rating in order to continue exercising its activity

By using solar energy, the house reduces its environmental impact, so the energy efficiency certificate would be improved from category G to category A or B depending on the case.

Soon it will be a requirement for existing vacation rental homes to be able to continue exercising their activity
