Here's an interesting article about solar power:

I must say I have been put off the idea by all the bureaucratic hurdles, but it looks like things are changing.  However, it still seems very expensive.

Anyone know if there are any solar water features available on the Island?

Thanks in anticipation.

Morning all.  Can anyone help with a recommendation for a plumber / service engineer for a solar water heater (Junkers) located in the north (El Roque). Many thanks.

Over the Summer they have been installing solar powered street lighting on the dual carriageway between Puerto del Rosario and the airport. I'm told that they are working now. There's a bank of solar panels at Playa Blanca and at the turn off to Corralejo.

Does anyone know if the Cabildo will reintroduce the Grant for Solar systems? I know you claim get the Grant (50%?) last year and wondered if it’s likely they’ll do the same again next year. I’ve currently got a hot water heater on the roof and would like to replace it with a solar panel.

The Cabildo promotes the energy supply of the Lonja del Cotillo.

The Ministry of Industry, Classified Activities, Crafts and Commerce of the Island Council awards the works for the installation of a renewable energy system that allows the self-sufficiency of the Lonja del Cotillo, in the municipality of La Oliva.



The project aims to ensure energy efficiency and turn the building into an energy-sustainable facility, through 36 solar panels, with great power and energy stor

Just wondering if anyone has a ‘rough’ idea of the Labour cost for installing one solar panel with hot water tank on the roof of a two storey house?
There are already connections in place on the roof so it’s purely for fitting the solar panel and water tank and connecting up.
Just trying to get an idea of the Labour costs before I start getting quotes.
Thanks

Hi

With the lack of response from Solarland we have got some initial information from Omar at JRM.

He reckons subsidies are open until the end of next week so if we want a hot water system we should jump now, and get 50% of it paid. We would pay JRM €150 for the subsidy application but this would be offset against any installation they do.

Has anyone used JRM before?  

He is also asking for info like padron etc, deeds etc, (understandable) but also annual income and a statement from the
