Gestor energético, la figura clave para que tu comunidad energética se integre en tu proyecto y coordine la puesta en marcha

Cada vez se habla más de las comunidades energéticas y del autoconsumo colectivo en Canarias, pero existe una figura que muchos desconocen y que resulta esencial para que estos proyectos funcionen: el gestor energético.

En este artículo te explicamos qué es, qué funciones tiene y por qué en Lanzarote es imprescindible contar con uno si quieres que tu comunidad o tu empresa aproveche al máximo la energía solar.

En Lanzarote, donde el sol brilla más de 300 días al año, las comunidades energéticas asociadas a instalaciones fotovoltaicas se presentan como una solución ideal para reducir costes eléctricos, aumentar la independencia energética y contribuir a un futuro más sostenible.

El gestor energético es el profesional que se encarga de planificar, coordinar y optimizar todo lo relacionado con la energía en un edificio, comunidad de vecinos o empresa.

No se limita a instalar paneles solares: su trabajo abarca la parte técnica, administrativa, legal y económica, asegurando que el proyecto se desarrolle correctamente y que los usuarios realmente se beneficien del ahorro prometido.

Listen to the interview that the cadena Ser Lanzarote Has realised our partner, the engineer Norberto Dominguez, specialised in renewable energy, about energy communities.

Un gestor energético puede asumir distintas tareas según el proyecto, pero las más habituales son:

Estudio de viabilidad:

• Análisis del tejado
• Consumos de los vecinos
• Potencia óptima de la instalación.

Gestión administrativa y legal:

• Registro de autoconsumo compartido.
• Contratos de alquiler de cubierta o PPAs locales.
• Tramitación de permisos y legalización de la instalación.

Gestión económica:

• Cálculo de ahorros e ingresos.
• Reparto justo de la energía entre vecinos.
• Facturación interna y control de excedentes.

Tramitación de ayudas y subvenciones (IBI, IRPF, programas Next Generation en Canarias).

Supervisión y transparencia: Monitorización de la producción y comunicación periódica a los vecinos.

• Ahorro real en la factura eléctrica gracias a una gestión óptima.
• Tranquilidad administrativa: no tendrás que preocuparte por papeles ni registros.
• Acceso a subvenciones y bonificaciones que muchas comunidades pierden por desconocimiento.
• Transparencia en el reparto de energía y en los beneficios.
• Mayor rentabilidad para tu comunidad o empresa.

En Lanzarote, muchas comunidades disponen de grandes azoteas sin uso. Con un gestor energético, estas cubiertas se pueden convertir en una fuente de ahorro e incluso de ingresos, mediante:

• Instalaciones de autoconsumo colectivo.
• Cesión de tejados a empresas inversoras a cambio de alquiler.
• Modelos mixtos donde los vecinos disfrutan de energía barata sin necesidad de invertir.

Comunidades Energéticas en Lanzarote: una nueva forma de aprovechar la energía solar

En los últimos años, las Islas Canarias han apostado de forma decidida por la transición energética. En este contexto, surge un modelo innovador que está transformando la manera en que vecinos, empresas y administraciones consumen y producen energía: las comunidades energéticas.

En Lanzarote, donde el sol brilla más de 300 días al año, las comunidades energéticas asociadas a instalaciones fotovoltaicas se presentan como una solución ideal para reducir costes eléctricos, aumentar la independencia energética y contribuir a un futuro más sostenible.

Una comunidad energética es una asociación de personas físicas, pymes o entidades locales que se unen para producir, gestionar y consumir energía renovable de forma compartida.

Su objetivo no es únicamente económico, sino también social y ambiental:

• Reducir la factura de la luz.
• Fomentar el uso de energías limpias.
• Repartir de manera justa los beneficios de la producción fotovoltaica.
• Implicar a la ciudadanía en la transición energética.

En otras palabras, se trata de un modelo en el que la energía solar se convierte en un bien común, gestionado de manera democrática y cercana.

Listen to the interview that the cadena Ser Lanzarote Has realised our partner, the engineer Norberto Dominguez, specialised in renewable energy, about energy communities.

Aunque ambos modelos permiten compartir energía solar, existen diferencias importantes:

• Autoconsumo colectivo: un grupo de consumidores (vecinos de un edificio, por ejemplo) se conecta a una instalación solar común y reparte la energía en función de un coeficiente pactado.
• Comunidad energética: va más allá del autoconsumo eléctrico. Puede abarcar proyectos de almacenamiento, movilidad eléctrica o eficiencia energética. Además, el enfoque es más participativo, dando un papel activo a los socios en la toma de decisiones.

En Lanzarote, donde muchas viviendas están dispersas y no siempre es viable el autoconsumo colectivo clásico, la comunidad energética ofrece un modelo flexible que puede integrar tanto a vecinos como a pequeños negocios.

• Ahorro en la factura de la luz: Al producir electricidad localmente con placas solares, se reduce el consumo de la red y se estabilizan los costes frente a las subidas de precio.
• Aprovechamiento del sol de Lanzarote: La isla cuenta con una de las mayores radiaciones solares de Europa, lo que convierte a las instalaciones fotovoltaicas en una inversión altamente rentable.
• Independencia y resiliencia energética: Reducir la dependencia del sistema eléctrico insular (alimentado en gran parte por combustibles fósiles importados) aumenta la seguridad energética de la isla.
• Beneficio social y ambiental: Los ingresos y ahorros generados permanecen en la comunidad, y las emisiones de CO₂ disminuyen significativamente.
• Apoyo institucional y subvenciones: Existen programas europeos, estatales y autonómicos que impulsan la creación de comunidades energéticas, lo que facilita la financiación inicial.

En España, las comunidades energéticas están reguladas por la normativa europea y nacional sobre energías renovables. En Canarias, se están desarrollando proyectos piloto impulsados por el Gobierno autonómico y los ayuntamientos.

En Lanzarote, los ayuntamientos de municipios como Arrecife, San Bartolomé o Teguise están empezando a interesarse en este modelo, ya que permite crear proyectos locales de energía compartida que benefician tanto a familias como a pequeñas empresas.

Imaginemos un grupo de 30 familias y pequeños comercios de Arrecife que deciden crear una comunidad energética.

• Se instala una planta fotovoltaica en la cubierta de un colegio o edificio municipal.
• La energía producida se reparte entre los socios, en función de su participación.
• El ahorro medio puede llegar al 30-40% en la factura eléctrica.
• El excedente de energía se vierte a la red, generando ingresos adicionales.

De esta manera, la comunidad no solo reduce sus gastos, sino que también contribuye a que Lanzarote avance hacia un modelo energético más limpio y sostenible.

• Organización de los interesados: vecinos, empresas locales o instituciones.
• Estudio técnico y legal: análisis de consumos, localización de espacios para la instalación y modelo de gestión.
• Constitución legal de la comunidad: normalmente bajo forma de cooperativa o asociación sin ánimo de lucro.
• Instalación fotovoltaica y puesta en marcha.
• Gestión y participación activa: los socios deciden democráticamente cómo se reparte la energía y los beneficios.

Las comunidades energéticas en Lanzarote son una oportunidad única para aprovechar el sol de la isla de manera colaborativa y sostenible. A través de instalaciones fotovoltaicas compartidas, vecinos, pymes y administraciones pueden reducir su factura eléctrica, ganar independencia energética y contribuir a la lucha contra el cambio climático.

En un territorio insular como Lanzarote, donde la dependencia de los combustibles fósiles es todavía muy alta, este modelo no solo es beneficioso, sino necesario para avanzar hacia un futuro energético más limpio y justo.

If you are thinking of reducing your electricity bill and betting on clean energy, it is important to know the steps to install solar panels in Lanzarote.

Next, we explain how we work so that you can enjoy an efficient, safe and personalised installation:

📩 Sending your electricity bill

We need you to send us a recent copy of your electricity bill. This document will allow us to:

• Prepare an initial report without obligation.
• Analyse your annual energy consumption.
• Accurately locate your home using Google Maps.

If you do not have an electricity bill or the annual average is not significant, we can calculate based on your indications and the available surface area on the roof or land

Preliminary study 

With the information collected, we prepared a technical and economic study that includes:

• The recommended daily photovoltaic power.
• Approximate number of solar panels
• Distribution of solar panels
• Detailed budget with the qualities of the materials to be used.

Face-to-face technical visit

Although the initial analysis is very useful, an on-site visit is essential, as long as the price and the initial study are to your liking. During this visit:

• Revision of the electrical panel
• Roof review to definitively evaluate its placement
• Revision of the grounding.

Final budget

Once the visit is made, we will send you a closed and detailed budget, adapted to the real characteristics of your home.

Normally we request a 60% advance for the purchase of materials, and we inform you of the steps to follow in detail

We can make you a personalised schedule so that you know the installation times and basic processes.

And... how much does it cost me?

Here you have a complete article with what it costs approximately an installation of 6 solar panels in a single-family house in Playa Blanca.

Each case is particular and unique, but you can have an approximate idea of the prices of the different elements.

Once we have our photovoltaic installation working, the question arises of what is the necessary maintenance?, especially in regions such as Lanzarote, where suspended dust is common.

The correct one Solar panel maintenance in Lanzarote is essential to ensure that they continue to operate at full capacity.

In the Canary Islands, airborne dust can reduce the efficiency of solar panels. If your panels are in the garden or in an accessible area, you can use a hose to remove any accumulated mud due to dew and dust. 🧼💧

However, when the panels are located in hard-to-reach places, such as the roof, it can be more complicated.

En estos casos, te recomendamos 3 enfoques:

Fixed date for cleaning

Establish a regular schedule, depending on the time of year and weather conditions.

You will need to hire a maintenance professional (no special training required) to come up with a ladder, water, or a hose connected to a water supply.

Performance Monitoring:

Use the Huawei FUSION SOLAR photovoltaic installation monitoring app. We will teach you how to use it so that you can obtain the necessary measurements and information.

If you notice a decrease in performance compared to when the panels were first installed or after a rain, they probably need cleaning. 📊🔧

Adjustment of anchors and fixings

We include in the assessment of your installation a section intended to review the tightening of the metal structures and the fixing staples of the panels.

Why?, because with the wind in Lanzarote the panels are cimbred and vibrate by the constant wind in Lanzarote, causing the screws and nuts to loosen over time.

It is important to keep an eye on your system's performance. When your panels are clean, you will notice increased energy production.

But, if you see that the production decreases significantly, it is a sign that it is time to clean them. This will ensure that the panels operate at their maximum capacity. ☀️🔋

Special promotion for installation of solar panels in Lanzarote Single family homes

If you need a CERTIFICATE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY you can contact «ARQUITECTURA INDEPENDIENTE» So that you can request your certificate prior to the installation of solar panels, in order to request the corresponding subsidy

If you ask yourself "How much does a solar installation cost in Lanzarote?", here we give you an idea of the prices for a single-family house without a heat pump for swimming pool or air conditioning.

The cost for a standard installation is around 4500 euros + IGIC, including six solar panels on the roof, high quality inverter, support structure and documentation.

Below, we show you a detailed breakdown:

Huawei 5 kW inverter

Huawei's technology stands out for its efficiency and reliability, optimising the performance of solar systems.

With an approximate cost of 1,500 euros, these components offer a good ratio between price and performance, ensuring a durable and efficient operation in various conditions.

Solar panels, support and mounting blocks: 

The solar panels, together with the fixing blocks and transport, represent an investment of 1,900 euros. This price includes the solar modules, the elements necessary to ensure a firm installation and the cost of moving so that the equipment arrives in optimal condition, ready for installation.

Other elements and documentation:

The wiring, the monitoring controller, the connections, the adjustments in the electrical panel and the procedures in the industry council have an approximate cost of 1,200 euros. This amount covers the necessary electrical installation, performance control and the permits required to comply with the regulations.

Listen to the interview that the cadena Ser Lanzarote Has realised our partner, the engineer Norberto Dominguez, specialised in renewable energy, about energy communities.

🛠️ Estimated total of the installation: 4500 euros + IGIC

It is important to note that each home is unique, and certain factors (by way of example) can influence the final price:

Over-voltage protection: Some homes need this type of additional protection to guarantee the safety of the facility and comply with the installation regulations

Adequacy of the grounding: The installation must comply with safety values (value below 37 ohms), and if the grounding is not adequate, improvements may be necessary.

Here is an example of installing 6 boards with Huawei inverter

These variations could increase the initial budget, so at SOTELAN PLUS we carry out a preliminary online assessment. However, we recommend a technical visit to the house to give a tight budget and without surprises.

Our team of experts is ready to make a technical visit to your home, where we will evaluate the specific details of the installation and adjust the price to your needs.

If you are looking to hire an electrician in Lanzarote, it is important to consider a few factors to ensure that you choose a reliable and qualified professional.

QUALITY AND LEGALITY

First of all, check that the electrician is duly certified and has the corresponding license to carry out electrical work in Lanzarote.

This ensures that the electrician has the necessary training and experience to carry out a safe and quality job.

EXPERIENCE

It is also important to check the opinions and recommendations of other previous customers of the electrician.

Check online reviews on review websites or ask the electrician directly for references.

A website with enough information, and a quality Google profile with reviews is a good start.

• Google
• YouTube

Agenda and availability

Another important factor is the availability of the electrician to work when you need it.

Make sure the electrician has the ability to get the job done in the required timeframe and has the flexibility to accommodate your schedule and needs.

Many times the best option in terms of professionalism clashes with our needs, emergencies or specific schedules.

Formality

Answer calls as soon as possible and messages:

On many occasions, as a professional, you cannot answer the phone because you have to be focused on a specific task, you have to establish breaks to be able to check your mobile.

Puntuality

Many of the complaints from clients with the professionals of the service companies come because they are late with the excuse of being very busy but they do not call to let them know that the appointment they had at a certain time will not be able to be kept.

Be neat and honest:

If your client sees that you don't organize your agenda well, that you don't answer the phone, that you're not honest about your occupancy level, they can't trust you.

And even if I have to finish the job with you, I won't call you again

We work with the best supplier of electrical equipment on the island, Dielca. We are up to date with your promotions and offers, to inform you by mail of the news.

If you're experiencing electrical problems at your home or business, it can be difficult to determine the exact cause and how to fix it. Some common electrical problems include blackouts, short circuits, overloads, and problems with switches or plugs.

Fortunately, an electrical installer in Lanzarote can help you solve these problems and keep your electrical systems in good condition.

SHORT CIRCUIT AND OVERLOAD

Short circuits and overloads are one of the most common causes of blackouts.

These occur when there is a direct connection between two electric cables of different polarity, or an excess consumption in the line.

If you have too many appliances or devices plugged in at once, you may be overloading the electrical circuit.

An electrician can assess the situation and provide a solution to prevent future overloads.

PROBLEMS WITH THE PLUG

Problems with switches or sockets are also common.

For example, a plug may not work if the cord is damaged or if there is a problem with the thermal protection.

An electrician can replace the plug and fix any other underlying electrical issues.

MAINTENANCE AND REVISIONS

This includes regular maintenance of electrical systems, installation of new systems, and upgrading of old systems.

Regular maintenance is important to prevent electrical problems and ensure that your electrical systems are in good working order.

THE ELECTRIC WATER BOILER AND PANELS WITH SUPPORT RESISTANCE

Electric water heaters are the device that is usually damaged periodically by internal corrosion of the tank.

It is the first element that we have to check if the difference switch in the house jumps out.

Because the internal corrosion anode intended to prevent corrosion and rust of the tank has worn out over time.

This element must be changed once a year (the corrosion anode), because it is cheap and prevents us from changing the thermos every two or three years.

Conclusions

If you are experiencing electrical problems in your home or business in Lanzarote, an electrical installer can help you solve them and keep your electrical systems in good condition.

Do not try to fix electrical problems on your own, as this can be dangerous and cause damage to yourself or your property.V

Instead, trust an experienced professional to provide safe and effective solutions.

If you are looking to reduce your electricity consumption in Lanzarote, there are many strategies that you can implement in your home.

Here are some tips to help you save energy and reduce your electricity bills.

USE OF LED LAMPS

LED bulbs consume less energy and last longer than traditional bulbs, making them an excellent option for saving energy in your home.

Already implemented in almost all homes, we must focus on other elements of much more consumption that go unnoticed

AIR CONDITIONING AND HEAT PUMP

Adjust the temperature of the air conditioning: If you live in Lanzarote, it is likely that you use the air conditioning to keep your home cool during the summer months.

Also if you have a pool, set the temperature to 25 degrees Celsius to save energy and reduce your electricity bills, or complement it by using a pool blanket

laundry

Wash clothes with cold water: Most of the energy used in washing machines is used to heat the water.

Wash your clothes in cold water to save energy and lower your electricity bills. There are also dryers that work with a heat pump, which represents considerable savings compared to those that work with a resistance.

Solar panels to heat water

If you want to take more advanced measures to save energy in your home, consider the installation of solar panels to replace the electric water heater.

Many of the electric water heaters consume around 1600 W, and are connected several times a day to keep the contents warm.

If you have a rate that is cheaper at certain times, you can try to set a timer so that it works only at those times.

Solar panels power generation

Photovoltaic solar panels are an excellent option for those looking to reduce their energy consumption. Also, once installed, solar panels are a free and renewable source of energy.

While solar panels can be expensive to install, in the long run, they are a worthwhile investment that can save you money on your electric bills.

Conclusions

According to data from Spain's National Statistics Institute (INE), the average price of electricity for domestic consumers has increased by 46.4% from April 2016 to April 2021.

This significant increase in the price of electricity is due to several factors, such as the increase in the costs of energy production, the dependence on fossil fuels, and the taxes and fees that apply to electricity in Spain.

If we don't have a receipt on hand, and we want to find out how to know the contracted power in a meter of our home or premises directly consulting the measurement equipment, look this video with practical instructions.

The easiest way to see the contracted power is to see it in our electricity bill, or lose a little time and call the supply company.

That is why it is important if we are professionals in the sector and How to know the contracted power in a meter of our client for any procedure or reform, that important information.

Either because our client cannot give us that information quickly, or because we are in front of the measurement team, this method is fast and easy to find out.

This information is needed by professionals for a multitude of procedures, such as these:

• Increases or decreases in power.
• Creation of installation certificates.
• Rate changes for save money
• Changes in time discrimination.

You will have already seen in the video at the top of the article how easy it is to review this data. Sometimes a process for increasing or decreasing the contracted power begins, and it takes a while to complete, or the next receipt just arrives, and to our dismay, the power has not been changed due to some error.

In this way, we can see this data in our measurement equipment without waiting the next receipt.

It is also a very good idea use the app corresponding to each company to have all the information in real time.

You can see a standard receipt format, and where you can find the contracted power. Although it is true that each company has different formats, this one below is just an example of a receipt from Endesa.

Here you have an example.

To know about the interpretation of electricity bills, as well as to understand them, I am going to provide you this link where you will find detailed information, since this entry is only to find out the power of a remote management meter.
