Solar panels · Canillas de Aceituno
Canillas de Aceituno is the village you start from to climb La Maroma, the highest peak in the province, and one of the Málaga municipalities of the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Natural Park. Its people live not only in the village but in eight settlements and many country houses, a good share of them foreign residents. Among olive groves and avocado terraces each home is different: a tiled roof, irrigation pumping, a pool, or a supply that struggles in winter.
In the village, with its steep streets, we plan how materials get to the house and place the panels on the best-facing roof slopes so they sit neatly. On farms we look at avocado irrigation and the well pump, which can be scheduled for the sunny hours. Where homes use electric heating because of the altitude, we size the system for winter too.
Our whole team speaks English, and Daniel Hill is a native speaker, so you can handle everything in English from the first call.
