Solar panels in La Viñuela
La Viñuela is known for its reservoir, the Axarquía's main water store, and for a landscape of olive groves and irrigated avocados. Almost half of its foreign residents are British, and many live in country houses in Los Romanes, Los Gómez or around the reservoir. These homes have pools, irrigation and sometimes their own pumping, all daytime loads that solar energy covers very well.
On country houses we look at the roof or ground mounting, the pool filter and irrigation, and consider a battery if you use power at night or have cuts. On avocado farms we study pumping and irrigation, which can be scheduled during sunny hours to use the solar production.
Our whole team speaks English, and Daniel Hill is a native speaker, so you can handle everything in English from the first call.
