How solar energy works for your property on Mallorca

Photovoltaics describes the direct conversion of sunlight into electrical energy. On Mallorca, the conditions for this are ideal: high solar irradiation, many hours of sunshine and a stable climate.

The sun’s energy is converted into electricity by solar cells – emission-free and sustainable.

From the roof into the home

The generated electricity passes through several stages:

• 1. Power generation
  The solar modules on the roof produce direct current.
• 2. Conversion
  An inverter converts this into alternating current suitable for household use.
• 3. Use in the home
  The electricity is consumed directly where it is needed – for example for air conditioning, pool technology or household appliances.
• 4. Storage or feed-in
  Surplus energy can either be stored or fed into the power grid.

Why Mallorca is particularly efficient

Photovoltaic systems perform better the higher the level of solar irradiation. Mallorca offers ideal conditions in this respect:

• Long, sunny summers
• High intensity of solar irradiation
• Lower seasonal fluctuations than in Central Europe

This leads to consistently high energy yields throughout the year.

The right system size

The optimal sizing of a solar system depends on several factors:

• Energy demand of the property
• Usage profile, e.g. holiday property versus permanent residence
• Available roof area
• Budget and desired level of self-sufficiency

Precise planning ensures that the system is neither overdimensioned nor underdimensioned and can unfold its full potential.
