I don't have any personal experience with solar power, but I've heard that it's a great option for people who live in sunny climates.A lot of people are hesitant to switch to solar power because they think the initial investment cost is too high, but that's not always the case. There are a lot of government rebates and tax credits available for people who switch to solar, so it's worth doing your research to see if it's a viable option for you.I also read an article the other day here: http://www.aei.ie/blog/electricity-produced-by-solar-panels-for-homes that helps businesses and homeowners go solar. They seem like they're really knowledgeable about the process.]]> Mon, 27 Jun 2022 09:59:05 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/solar-power_topic11893_post116694.html#116694 <![CDATA[Solar Power : My house is entirely electric...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/solar-power_topic11893_post114347.html#114347 Author: animallover

My house is entirely electric and had to rin emersion style tank 24/7. We eventually got water tank and solar panel on roof and electricity bills halved. We have a 200 litre tank and installation and equipment cost €2300. Considering more panels at a later date...]]> Mon, 26 Apr 2021 16:24:57 +0000 https://albufeira.com/forum/solar-power_topic11893_post114347.html#114347 <![CDATA[Solar Power : We have 6 x 150w panel supplied...]]> https://albufeira.com/forum/solar-power_topic11893_post114346.html#114346 Author: peteknopp

We have 6 x 150w panel supplied by edp and they save about 30-50 euro a month if you run appliances when the panels generate the most power.
Having sold our villa recently, I am looking to go completely off grid in our next house with more than likely around 40 panels and big lithium batteries to enable 3 air con units during the night etc. I expect the system to cost between 15-20K. There are several suppliers over here but I don't have experience of them. I have been doing all my searches in UK suppliers.

Hi All, thinking about possibly having solar power put in. Does anyone have any experience of this? Is it worth it? We have a 3 bed villa with a pool and the electricity bills seem to keep going up!
Any advice would be gratefully recieved.
TIA
