Solar panels in Comares
Comares, the balcony of the Axarquía, crowns a hilltop at 700 metres, but most of its life is outside the village: the municipality has 18 settlements and almost half of its people live in the countryside. Four in ten residents are foreign nationals, half of them British, many in isolated cortijos with a well, a pool and long power lines. In houses like these, solar with a battery does more than save money: it gives peace of mind when the power goes off.
On cortijos we study the whole house, the well and the pool, and if the grid is weak we propose a battery with backup output for the essential circuits. If the house has no grid connection, we consider an off-grid system. In the village we fit the panels neatly on tiled roofs.
Our whole team speaks English, and Daniel Hill is a native speaker, so you can handle everything in English from the first call.
