Solar Panel Installers Tarragona

Tarragona is located in a region with a Mediterranean climate, which means that it enjoys a high number of hours of sunshine per year. Solar radiation is abundant in this area, making it an ideal location for solar energy generation.

The city of Tarragona has a predominantly sunny climate with hot and dry summers. This climatic condition favors the efficiency of solar panels, since they operate more effectively in sunny conditions and with moderate temperatures.

Likewise, solar radiation in Tarragona allows a high potential for solar energy generation. Solar panels installed in this region have the capacity to produce a significant amount of electricity, which can help reduce dependence on conventional energy sources and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.

Why install solar panels in Tarragona?

Solar energy allows consumers of different types to produce their own electricity, covering part of their electrical needs at a lower cost than that normally purchased from electricity suppliers and thus avoiding the emission of CO2 associated with traditional electricity generation.

Solar self-consumption is the ability of one or more consumers to generate, manage and consume energy at the same site or remotely, whether with or without energy storage. Each kWh produced and self-consumed is 1 kWh less that we must buy from the electricity company with its corresponding savings on the electricity bill.

Solar energy allows us:

Save more than 50% on our electricity bill from day one.
Avoid rising electricity prices.
Take economic advantage of roofs.
Reduce the carbon footprint associated with our daily lives.
Contribute to a cleaner and more responsible world.

Solar panel installation price in Tarragona.

The price of a solar panel installation depends mainly on 3 factors:

- size of the solar installation.

- type of solar structure to use depending on the type of roof where the solar panels are installed.

- complexity of operations to raise all the material to the roof: need to cut the street, need to have a crane, need to have workers specialized in vertical work, etc.

In any case and despite these complexities, the vast majority of solar installations have a return on investment period of less than 5 years, and if subsidies are obtained, less than 3 years.
