Solar panels in Macharaviaya
Macharaviaya had its heyday in the 18th and 19th centuries thanks to the Gálvez family, who brought a royal playing-card factory to the village. Today it is a small municipality with two settlements, Macharaviaya and Benaque, on the hills rising from Rincón de la Victoria and Benajarafe. Being so close to the coast, people live here all year, in detached and country houses where self-consumption fits very well: your own roof, year-round use and plenty of sun.
We size the system from your annual bill and explain which help applies to you: any municipal rebate, the income-tax deduction if it is your main home and you pay Spanish tax, and the Junta incentives if you include a battery. On homes with a pool we schedule the filter for the sunny hours.
Our whole team speaks English, and Daniel Hill is a native speaker, so you can handle everything in English from the first call.
