Characteristics of our photovoltaic solar power plants
- Quality: both the design and the components (the Kyocera and/or Suntech photovoltaic modules, the SMA inverters, the metallic structures, the electrical ancillaries and installation, etc.) are of the highest quality and bear no comparison to any other photovoltaic installation constructed at world level..
- Guarantee: 99% guaranteed availability; rights to compensation from the fourth day per year of non-functioning of the PGU (100 kw photovoltaic generating unit).
- Control: system of online supervision and monitoring of solar plants allowing owners to view the energy output of their PGU through our Website.
- Maintenance: both preventative and corrective for all solar plants carried out by highly qualified professionals.
- Security: a sophisticated security system as well as favourable terms agreed with top level insurance companies guarantee peace of mind for an investment of such characteristics.
- Priority: preferential terms with Kyocera, Suntech and SMA for the development of solar energy projects in Spain and at an international level.

Special attention is given in selecting sites for our photovoltaic installations always seeking to optimize a series of values that include:
- Irradiation: This value is directly related to the site’s sunlight hours and the quantity of energy available which can be converted into electricity.
- Latitude: Countries such as Spain possess optimal characteristics for the benefits of solar energy.
- Air temperature: Sites with cooler temperatures are preferable as heat reduces the output of the photovoltaic modules.
- Wind: The output of photovoltaic modules is higher in windy sites as they benefit from greater cooling.
- Altitude: The higher the site, the cleaner the air and the lower its density improving the action of the solar radiation on the photovoltaic module.
- Surroundings: Agricultural surroundings are more reflective and, as such, more appropriate given that optimum light reflection towards the photovoltaic site increases the energy produced.
The design of the photovoltaic installation is crucial in obtaining the optimal radiation capacity of a specific site for conversion into electricity.
As not all inverters or solar modules perform equally, the use of highly reliable, quality photovoltaic modules and inverters, appropriate cable sections and excellent operational and maintenance services are essential.
