In today’s rising‑cost environment, harnessing renewable energy isn’t just an eco‑choice—it’s a smart financial decision. On the sunny Costa Blanca, installing a solar system can significantly reduce your household bills and increase your property’s value. At 100% Plumbing we specialise in both plumbing and solar solutions, helping homeowners tap into the sun’s power for hot water, heating and full electrical supply. Explore how going solar can benefit you.
Why solar power makes financial sense
-
Solar‑photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight into electricity, reducing or even eliminating your reliance on the grid.
-
In regions like the Costa Blanca, where sunshine is abundant, systems often pay for themselves within 7‑15 years and continue providing “free” power afterwards.
-
Installing solar not only saves money on energy bills but also increases your home’s resale value—many buyers today look for properties with renewable energy systems installed.
-
Government incentives and subsidies can further improve economics.
-
A professional installer (like 100% Plumbing) can guide you through choosing the right system and ensuring correct installation and maintenance.
Key questions to ask before you go solar
| Question | Consideration |
|---|---|
| 1. How much roof area & sunlight do I have? | Your roof orientation, shading, tilt and structural condition all affect yields. A south‑facing, unshaded roof delivers best results. |
| 2. How big should the system be? | Depends on your household electricity use, goals (partial or full self‑supply) and budget. |
| 3. Will I install batteries or grid‑tie only? | Grid‑tie systems feed excess energy back to the grid (when allowed) and cost less upfront. Batteries add autonomy but also cost. |
| 4. What about feed‑in tariffs or export compensation? | Check local Spanish regulations or consult your installer for incentives and regulations. |
| 5. How long until payback and what are maintenance costs? | Typical payback is 7‑15 years; maintenance is relatively low (panel cleaning, inverter check). |

Consider a system sized slightly above your current use—future‑proofing your home.

Keep panels clean (especially near coastal zones where salt can accumulate) to maximise output.
