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.

In these cases, we recommend two approaches:

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. 📊🔧

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 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.

🛠️ 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.

💡 Save on your energy bill and contribute to the environment with a solar installation in Lanzarote.

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

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.

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.
