Francisco’s zero-cost electricity

At Sunhero, we deeply value the experiences of our clients. Today, we want to share the story of Francisco, one of our ambassadors, who has embraced solar energy in both his homes in Quart, a small town near Girona. Francisco’s story not only reflects the tangible benefits of solar energy but also its positive impact on daily life.

A Peaceful Town with a Sustainable Vision

Francisco has lived in Quart for 30 years, having moved from Girona in search of tranquility. He installed solar panels on both his house and his son’s, and he hopes that his other children will also adopt this technology due to his positive experience.

“I’ve always believed in the benefits of solar energy. About 20 or 25 years ago, I installed a solar system for heating water, but it was about a year and a half ago that I decided to switch to photovoltaic solar energy,” Francisco explains. The rising cost of electricity was the catalyst that led him to seek a more sustainable and economical solution.

Finding the Right Company

Francisco conducted extensive research before choosing Sunhero. “I requested 22 quotes from different companies,” he says. However, many of them did not provide the confidence or technical knowledge he was looking for. “What convinced me about Sunhero was the clarity and understanding of my needs. Plus, I was reassured that they only asked for a 10% down payment, compared to the 30-50% other companies required.”

Francisco also appreciated the technical knowledge of the Sunhero team, especially in areas like microinverters and optimizers, which other providers did not mention. “Many of the technicians I spoke to didn’t understand the technical details of my three-phase installation, but the Sunhero team knew exactly how to handle it,” Francisco states.

The Installation Process

“The installation was incredibly fast and efficient,” Francisco says. Despite being a professional in the electrical sector, he was impressed by the coordination and professionalism of the Sunhero team. “They started at 8 a.m. and by 1 p.m. the panels were up and running.”

With 14 panels installed on his house, Francisco has seen a significant reduction in his electricity bills, with some months where he only has to pay fixed costs like meter rental. “There are months when I don’t pay anything for electricity, just the meter rental and fees. It’s impressive to see the difference,” he comments.

Adaptations and Additional Benefits

Solar energy has allowed Francisco to make other important changes in his life. “I bought an electric car, and now I barely spend anything on fuel,” he explains. He is also considering making other changes to his home to maximize the use of solar energy, such as switching to an induction cooktop and upgrading his heating system. “Solar energy has given me the freedom to think about new possibilities. If I need more energy, I can add more panels,” he says.

Francisco also highlights the ability to compensate for excess energy generated. “I can use the surplus energy from my home in Quart to offset the consumption at my second residence in Granada. That’s a big advantage and something that not many companies offer.”

The Ecological Aspect

For Francisco, sustainability is also a key factor. “We’re doing a lot for the environment. Solar energy is a way to contribute to a greener world,” he says. Francisco takes great pride in knowing that his investment not only benefits his personal finances but also the planet. “Every solar panel we install is a step towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.”

Advice for the Undecided

When asked what he would recommend to those still unsure about installing solar panels, Francisco is clear: “If you have the space and can finance it, do it. It’s a gift. Solar energy is the future, and Sunhero is the best partner for making that transition.”

Francisco also mentions the importance of patience when it comes to subsidies. “Although the government can take time to approve them, the investment is worth it on its own. Subsidies are a welcome bonus but shouldn’t be the only deciding factor.”

Sunhero’s Technology

One of the main advantages Francisco mentions is the advanced technology Sunhero uses. “None of the other providers understood what microinverters or optimizers were, but the Sunhero team did. This technology has allowed me to maximize the efficiency of my panels, even in less-than-ideal conditions like partial shading.”

Moreover, our team conducted a detailed analysis of Francisco’s energy needs. “It’s not just about installing panels but designing a system that truly fits your specific needs and conditions. This is something Sunhero does exceptionally well.”
