Solar panels in Marratxí: the town that switches on at sunset

Marratxí has one feature that changes the whole self-consumption calculation: it is a town of detached houses where a lot of people work in Palma. The house sits empty exactly when the panels produce most, and switches on all at once when the sun has already gone. If nobody explains that to you and the system is sized for a midday load, you end up exporting cheap what you later buy back expensive.

So in Marratxí we treat three very different situations, and each one is sized differently:

Villas and townhouses in the residential areas

In Es Pla de na Tesa, Sa Cabana, Es Figueral, Els Caülls or Cas Capità the norm is the detached house with its own roof, air conditioning, a pool and, increasingly, an electric car. Consumption here takes off from seven in the evening, so the question is not how many panels fit but how much storage you need to get through the night. We size the battery against your real consumption curve and leave the installation ready for the charging point, which is what almost everyone asks for next.

Units and workshops on the Marratxí industrial estate

Here it is the other way round: consumption runs from eight in the morning to six in the evening and matches solar production exactly. That means no batteries are needed, the up-front cost drops a lot and payback is faster than in a house. We mount on sandwich-panel roofs with fixings that do not compromise the waterproofing, and on units with machinery we check the board and the protective devices first, because producing power is pointless if the unit's own installation is not up to it.

Old-town houses in Pòrtol, Sa Cabaneta and Marratxinet

In the old quarters it is a different job: Arab-tile roofs, small pitches facing whichever way they face, party walls and sometimes local rules on how it should look. The standard mounting kit will not do. We study pitch by pitch how much really fits, choose a mounting system that respects the tiles without breaking them, and run the cabling inside so there are no trunking channels on show. In Pòrtol, with its pottery workshops, many houses combine home and workshop: if that is your case we size it counting both loads, not just the domestic one.
