Self-consumption

Our photovoltaic installation consists of:

• Solar panels which transform solar energy into electricity.

• Solar inverter which is in charge of collecting the electricity from the solar collectors so you can use it at home or in your business.

• (Power) meter: to measure the electricity generated by the photovoltaic installation.

• Distribution board: solar electricity is transferred from the inverter to the inside of the house through this board.

• Connexion to the grid: you can choose between having self-consumption as well as being connected to the grid or having only self-consumption.

• Powen’s app: in order to verify at any time that the installation is working properly, there is an external monitoring to control the generated energy.

• Counseling and customer service

From LoGOS Energía, we guarantee:

• A 25-year photovoltaic energy production

• The 80% of the energy production estimated in the profitability calculation will cover the economic loss generated during the first 3 months if there were to be a delay.

• A 12-year guarantee for the structure of the self-consumption photovoltaic installation, as well as a 10-year guarantee for the potential manufacturing defects of the solar panels.

The benefits of installing solar panels in your home are numerous, but we can highlight the following:

• You will save a lot of money on your electricity bill. Although the installation of solar panels involves an initial investment, in the medium and long term you will enjoy important savings.

• You will collaborate with sustainability and environmental care, feeding your home with a clean and 100% renewable energy that avoids the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere.

  Contributing to the reduction of the greenhouse effect is one of the reasons why you should choose solar self-consumption.

• You will be able to have greater control over your energy consumption and less dependence on the electricity companies, since a large part of your home’s consumption will be covered by the energy generated from the solar panels.

That will depend on several factors among which we can highlight the following:

• The climate in the area where you live.

• Solar panels: type and quality.

• Number of solar panels installed.

• Season of the year

In general terms, savings on the electricity bill higher than 50% are usually achieved, so you will be able to amortize the initial installation in approximately 5 years. Bearing in mind that the useful life of a solar panel ranges between 20 and 30 years (even 40 in some cases) the savings are more than guaranteed.

The savings will be immediate. As soon as the solar panels are installed, they will start collecting the energy with which your home will be electrically powered, so the economic impact will be significant from the first month.

Unless you decide to completely isolate yourself from the electricity (using only solar self consumption), a complete saving will not be possible.

The electricity bill includes certain concepts such as power costs, energy costs or taxes that cannot be avoided in any case.

You shouldn't be surprised, it is a very common situation and its solution will also contribute to saving money.

All the energy that you collect and its not used for private consumption will be stored in batteries. You will be able to decide if you prefer to save it for the future or distribute it to the electricity grid with an economic benefit between 3 and 5 cents/kWh.

All the material necessary for the installation is distributed to both individuals and companies, so it is possible to carry out a project of this type independently if you wish.

Even so, our recommendation is to rely on a professional company. In LoGOs Energía we will carry out a specific study of your home, choosing the most suitable place for the solar panels. We will ensure that the incidence of the sun on the panels is the maximum to increase their performance.

The best place to install solar panels is always on the roof of the house, especially in the area facing south. That way the impact of direct sunlight will be the maximum throughout the day.

In addition, it is advisable to avoid the nearby presence of chimneys or elements that can generate shadows on the surface of the panels.

The installation of solar panels will not cause you any inconvenience, since LoGOs Energía performs it in a single day. Our goal is to ensure maximum comfort for our customers so you can start enjoying renewable energy as soon as posible.

It is not the usual nor the most advisable thing to do. Solar energy is ideal for powering your home during the day, but at night you will need an alternative that allows you to carry out the most common tasks.

Another option would be to install (together with the solar panels) storage batteries to save all the energy collected during the day so that you can enjoy it during the night, but this will obviously involve higher installation costs.

The price of solar panels installation depends on the following aspects:

• Type, quality and quantity of solar panels.

• Required power.

• Storage batteries (if needed)

If you want to know more precisely the price that solar panels installation could have in your home, in LoGOs Energía we carry out a particular study for each client to offer a completely customized solution based on your needs. So do not hesitate to contact us and we will inform you of absolutely everything.

In LoGOs Energía we carry out a project for each type of house taking into account some relevant aspects:

• Average consumption. The first thing we need to know is the average consumption of your home. To do this we will ask for your last electricity bill, so we can study your habits. Based on them we will calculate how many panels you may need.

• Size of the installation surface. Obviously, the smaller your roof is, the less solar panels we will be able to install, so the measurement of the available surface is a fundamental part of the project.

• Type of installation required. If what you are looking for is a complete disconnection of the electrical system that allows you to use only the energy generated by the solar panels, it will be necessary to install storage batteries, which are bigger and limit the amount of space available.

Yes, there are currently two different types of subsidies available in Spain:

• Direct aid: This is a direct discount on the total price of the solar panels installation. Each Community has its own regulations so to know in detail the total amount of money that can be saved it is best to contact directly with the competent administration.

• Tax discount. Energy consumption through renewable energies entails a discount on taxes such as IBI (Property Tax) and ICIO (Tax on Construction, Installations and Works).

Most solar panels usually perform at maximum power between 20 and 30 years (some of them even reaching 40 years). After this time the panels will no longer work at maximum performance, but depending on the needs of each customer it may not be necessary to replace them immediately.

Talking about storage batteries, the time interval varies, as they have a shorter life, between 5 and 10 years.

Yes, in fact solar panels usually work better at low temperatures. From 25 degrees the performance starts to decrease.

Strange as it may seem, it is possible that our solar panels reach a higher performance in colder seasons such as winter.

The solar panels will continue to perform their function but only at values between 10 and 20% of their total capacity.

You don't have to worry because these panels are designed to work in almost any type of situation, even being able to be powered by artificial light.

No, these are not factors that can affect the performance of the solar panels. They are made of tempered glass material that resists the impact of both wind and hail.

The components and technology used in their manufacturing process make them completely sealed, so water infiltration is also unlikely.

Yes, first of all, shadows can reduce the performance of the panel or panels that are receiving it, since the amount of surface available to receive solar energy will be reduced.

Secondly, shadows can affect the overall performance of the self-consumption system, generating hot spots in certain areas.

Therefore, it is important to carry out a correct study of the house where the solar panels are going to be installed, in order to prevent the installation from being affected by elements that may cause any type of shadows. In this way, in LoGOs Energía we take care of each self-consumption project in a personalized way so you don't have to worry about it.

Yes, in fact it is advisable to clean them with water at least once a year to remove all the accumulated dirt. In this way we will be able to maintain the surface of the solar panels in the ideal conditions that allow them to work at maximum performance.

Yes, it is called shared solar self-consumption and it is possible in places where community neighbors agree to install solar panels for the general benefit of all the houses.

The €/Wp ratio relates the price in euros to the watts of the panel. To understand it more clearly, in a case where we have a value of 0.60 €/Wp, the price of a 300W solar panel would be 0.60 x 300, 180€.
