Photovoltaicinstallations
Photovoltaic energy is the transformation of sunlight into electricity. This transformation is achieved through the installation of solar panels. We have extensive experience developing projects for the installation of solar panels in residential and industrial settings.
We carry out all types of installations, always offering the best solutions for your home. We provide personalized advice and design for each self-consumption solar panel installation, as each project is unique and requires a specific study tailored to the location and the client's needs.
Our team of engineers will work exhaustively to design the optimal solar panel installation for you. Grid-connected solar photovoltaic installations, solar panel installations for off-grid homes or residential communities.

What maintenance does a photovoltaic installation involve?
One of the great advantages of having a photovoltaic installation is its low maintenance . Since there are no moving parts, there is no wear and tear, nor do they require replacements or other adjustments. This also applies to self-consumption or off-grid installations, except for checking the batteries, if necessary. Photovoltaic installations must be periodically inspected to ensure proper operation . This means that there are no elements casting shadows on the cells or that the cells are dirty, thus avoiding losses.
When photovoltaic installations are carried out by professionals, the possibility of a breakdown is minimal. The company can perform maintenance tasks (wiring checks, equipment calibration), although the user can also do so (cleaning cells with water and a non-abrasive agent, visual inspection).
How does a photovoltaic installation work?
As we know, we obtain electricity by converting sunlight , based on the principle of the photoelectric effect. Thanks to the photoelectric effect, the material used can absorb photons and release electrons, generating electricity. To achieve this, a photovoltaic cell is used, made from a thin-film semiconductor material.
The cell absorbs photons and releases electrons (direct current). This energy, generated by the panels (which are made up of photovoltaic cells), is transformed into alternating current by inverters (if not, it goes to the charge regulator and, if necessary, to the batteries, where it will be stored until needed). Transformers will increase the energy up to 36 kV. Once it is passed on to the home or building’s protection panel, it can be used for any device that requires it.
Where can they be installed?
Another advantage of installing solar panels or photovoltaic systems is that they can be done in a variety of locations. Contrary to popular belief, they don’t necessarily have to be installed on the roof; they can also be installed on the ground . This means using flat structures, but primarily with the appropriate inclination (20 to 40°) and orientation to maximize solar radiation. In our country, they are generally south-facing.
Finally, the renewable energy company must conduct a study of the surface where the lights will be installed, including their orientation, potential obstacles, and the type of building or dwelling.
