El Borge
In the heart of moscatel raisin country: village, presses and country homes.
Solar panels · El Borge
El Borge is one of the moscatel raisin villages: the Axarquía crop that the FAO recognised in 2017 as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System, and every year the village holds its Raisin Day. It is a village of long-standing local families, with part of the population living out in the countryside among olives, vines and some avocados. Homes use the most electricity here, so the saving from a solar system goes mostly to the household bill.
In the village we work on flat roofs and tiled roofs, looking for the best-facing slope. On country houses with a wine press, store or well we include those loads when sizing. If the house is your main home and you pay Spanish income tax, we explain the energy-efficiency deduction.
Our whole team speaks English, and Daniel Hill is a native speaker, so you can handle everything in English from the first call.
Rules and rebates
We check with the town hall the procedure for your home, especially on rural land, and whether any tax rebate for solar is in force.
