Free No Obligation Quote

Contact LUZ123 for a free no obligation quote for a solar installation that meets your needs.

Each installation is very personal, we need to review your current and planned future usage along with available roof space.  We work with you to reduce your bill to Zero.

There is only so much saving you can make with a solar installation; if you install big your electricity company will benefit more than you.

With the correct installation payback can be less than 4 years.

How do you Save?

Without doubt a solar installation will save you money from day one, but at a cost; so you need to ensure you are having the correct size installation for your property/lifestyle.

You will save on your day to day usage, as most of the energy you will use will be from your own production.

You will also be sending excess energy back to your electricity provider, which should be paid back to you as a credit on your bill.

There are many solar tariffs available; LUZ123 can you guide you to the best one where you benefit the most.

Local Licences & Other Legalities

We will apply for all the licences associated with your solar installation

LICENCIA DE OBRA

Each ayuntamiento has their own calculation for the cost of this licence normally you will need to pay bewtween €150 and €250.

ARCHITECT FEES

Normally an architect is not required, but it depends on you ayuntamiento

Grants and Incentives

Depending on your installation location there are grants/incentives available.  We will complete the relevant paperwork and apply on your behalf.

What is a Virtual Battery?

Many electricity companies are now offering a "virtual battery" for clients with solar installations.

A virtual battery is a way to store the excess credit you make from your solar installation and then use it against future invoices.  

Each virtual battery offer has specific terms, therefore it is important to consider which option benefits you the most.  LUZ123 will help find the best deal for you.

Services

Worrying about your Electric?

Do you think your electric bills are too high, or there are things you don't understand on your bill?

Maybe you are unsure what tariff to be on!

We are here to help.  Just send us your invoice and we can review it, clarify what things mean and guide you to any possible saving.

Changing the Name on the Contract

Have you just bought or sold your property and need to change name on the property electricity contract?

No problem, give us the new details and supporting documents, we will then prepare the new contract for you. 

Save by Changing to another Tariff

There are many different tariffs available, each offering benefits depending on your lifestyle.

  • Day/Night Tariffs

  • Solar Virtual Battery
  • Prepay Electric

  • Fixed Rate

  • Indexed

We can guide you to the best tariff that fits your lifestyle, enabling you to make the most savings. 

Do you need to Change your contracted kW?

Maybe you think you are contracting too much and can make a saving by reducing the contracted kilowattage; or your power keeps tripping out due to an overload and you need to increase kilowattage!

You lifestyle may have changed, or the previous property owners were high energy users.  Then we can reduce your contracted kW for you.  Your electric distributor will charge around €9 (+IVA) to lower your contracted kW.  You could save about €40/kW/year (+IVA), but don't lower it too much as an increase in kilowattage is pricey.

If you need to increase your contracted kilowattage, this costs around €37/kW increase + €9 (+IVA).

We are available to discuss your needs and recommend the kW.  We will then complete the necessary paperwork for the required changes. 

New Supply or Electric Disconnected?

Electrical Installation Certificate (CIE)

What is the CIE/Boletin

Also known as the "Boletin" the Electrical Installation Certificate (CIE) is a mandatory document in all homes.  It certifies that the electrical installation is in good condition and meets all technical requirements therefore ensuring all electrical installations are completely safe and do not pose any dangers.

The boletin lists all the installation features: power installed and the maximum power that the installation can take.

When do you need a new CIE

If you make any technical modifications to your electrical installation you need a new CIE.

For example;

  • Solar Installations
  • Requesting to contract more power than your installation allows

What does it cost for a CIE?

If you get a quote for any electrical work which involves technical modification to your current electrical installaion; the quote should include the provision of the CIE.

The price of a Boletin/CIE can range from €150 to €200, there is no fixed price. It will essentially depend on the characteristics of the electrical installation, the installer who performs it and even the Autonomous Community where the installation is located.

Does an Electrical Installation Certificate expire?

Although the validity period of the electricity bulletin or CIE is 20 years, this does not mean that it has to be renewed after this period since the bulletin does not expire. However, it must be updated if any changes are made to the installation.
