What will your Solar System cost?
RibaSolar offer a number of different options for your renewable electricity supplies including DIY packages. To calculate which system would be suitable, you will first need to estimate the amount of household electricity consumption in watts.
- Below you will see a table of typical household appliances recommended for use with solar power and alongside it the typical energy consumption in watts. Use this table as a guide to help calculate your usage.
- Remember to include any appliances you double up on ie. TV in Living room and Bedrooms.
- You can dramatically reduce the initial purchase cost of your solar system by considering the use of a generator to run the high consumption items such as washing machines, oven etc.
- Also don't forget the consumption is worked out on an hourly basis so you need to multiply everything by the amount of hours in a day that you expect to be using it.
- Remember also that an average house in Spain has a maximum capacity of 3000 watts from their mains electric supplier.

Now you have a rough guide to the amount of electricity you will consume, contact us at RibaSolar and after an extensive site survey has been carried out and your specific needs and budget have been discussed we will be happy to advise you on the best system available to you.
What will your Hot Water System Cost? Back to Top
This cost is normally based on how many people live in your home. An average household with two people would need a 300ltr water heater and can be run from a minimum of one solar panel. This would normally provide enough hot water for showers, basin and kitchen use.
However, each installation is specific to the customers own bespoke requirements and after a site survey has been carried out and your specific needs and budget have been discussed we will be happy to advise you on the cost of the best system available to you.
What will your Pool Heating System Cost? Back to Top
A typical pool installation, with a pool size of around 8m x 4m and sufficient to raise the temperature of your pool to allow you to swim for up to 10 months of the year would cost approximately 3500€.
For further information please contact us or complete a site survey request form. Remember, solar pool heating systems work best with a thermal pool cover and we can recommend where to purchase these.
