Effortless Solar Installation for Ex-Pats

Shocked by your electricity bill?

Opening your electricity bill shouldn't feel like a horror story. Every euro you pay to your energy provider is money you could be saving with solar. With rising energy costs, it's time to take control.

There's just so much sun!

We all know that Portugals electricity prices are high. Combine that with over 260 sunny days per annum and solar power is a no brainer for your home. But the tricky part is knowing how to get the job done.

Solar power can tie you up in knots

If you don't understand electricity, solar power and the local market, getting your home solar powered can appear overwhelming. We help take the complexity away.

Why is getting your home solar powered a challenge?

I don't understand solar and so I am worried about where to start.

I don't know which installer to trust.

I don't know if my house and roof are suitable for solar.

What size system would I need based on my energy usage?

Should I get a battery and if so what type and size?

How much can a solar system save me and how long will it take before I get my money back?

Are there financing options in case I don't want to buy the system outright?

Are there rebates that I can take advantage of and if so, can someone help me with them?

Do I need approvals prior to starting and does the system need to be registered?

How will I know if I am getting the best deal?

Will the system be warranted?

Can I sell power to my energy provider?
