Solar panels in Cútar
Cútar, home of the Monfí festival and the Fuente de la Teja spring, lives among dry-farmed olives and terraced avocados: almost 200 irrigated hectares. More than half of the municipality's electricity is used not in homes but on the land, much of it running irrigation pumps that work during the day. Over half of the foreign residents are British, many in country houses outside the village.
On avocado farms we size for pumping and irrigation, adjusting the schedule to solar production. For homes we look at the roof, the pool and whether night-time use justifies a battery. Often one system for the house and another for irrigation works best.
Our whole team speaks English, and Daniel Hill is a native speaker, so you can handle everything in English from the first call.
