Solar Energy

Solar energy is making gigantic technical strides thanks to the huge growth of investment taking place in this field.   The result is a reduction of production costs in the construction of the facilities and equipment.  

New perspectives indicate that the European Union, which consumes close to 18.5% of world energy production, has to invest close to 59,200 million Euros per year in this field, within the objectives set for 2020 to reach 20% in renewable energies, supporting the Member States in the achievement of this goal by means of favourable regulation and economic incentives for production and/or installation. At present, growth indicators show a greater than 50% year-on-year increase.

How Photovoltaic Solar Energy works: :
Photovoltaic Solar Energy can be transformed into electric energy by means of the photoelectric effect.  Photoelectric cells are made from monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon or amorphous cells, devices capable of taking solar energy and converting it into electric energy.
By joining several cells together to form a photovoltaic array or panel, electric current is generated as direct current.   These panels are connected to storage devices and current inverters.

Installation and components::

Photovoltaic systems share two elements:

  Photovoltaic generators or solar panels:

Made up of several interconnected photovoltaic modules that make use of the solar radiation available on location.

  Inverters:

Transform the direct current supplied by the generator into alternating current which is then sent to the grid in the case of systems connected to one and to a storage battery, in the case of independent systems.

Types of facilities:

The photovoltaic system will be dimensioned according to the facility's consumption and the solar radiation conditions of the region.  We would be talking about two different types of facilities:

  100 Kw or less facilities: These are the most usual and can be applied to structures such as buildings.

  Large plants and photovoltaic facilities: These are high-power, large-scale facilities that are usually situated in rural areas or mounted on large surfaces/decks in urban areas.

Minimum technical requirements:

  There must be an electrical distribution line nearby that is capable of connecting to the grid, to accept the energy produced by the photovoltaic facility.

  Determine with the local electric company, what the capacity is to transfer the energy to the grid from the connection.

Reasons for you to invest in photovoltaic solar energy:

  An Investment that is secure and forward-looking.

  Photovoltaic solar energy is a sound investment, thanks to existing regulations and the performance of the equipment, which offer unique conditions to ensure business.    

  Premiums regulated and guaranteed by the state.

  Electric companies must purchase 100% of the energy fed into the grid, at a rate regulated by the State, meaning that its sale is guaranteed.

  A guaranteed, long-term investment offering a secure return over a 20 to 25 year period.

  Attractive Tax Incentives for the Investor.

Photovoltaic solar installation as a business in itself.

The electricity generated by the photovoltaic solar facility is sold to the local electric distributor at a rate previously established.

  Your company will project its commitment to the environment and to society.

Photovoltaic systems do not require fuel supply, they are totally silent, require hardly any maintenance and have a long-term life-cycle (the manufacturers offer warranties of over 25 years). They utilise a never-ending source of energy, the opposite of conventional energies.  

Behind the scenes of the best projects, you will find the most qualified professionals. 
GRUPO PLANIFICACIONES MUNDIALES will carry out a personalised study of your project to achieve the best performance of your facilities and we are committed to you from the moment of connection to the grid, through to the maintenance of the facilities.  

  Viability Study:

Previous to carrying out any project or investment, financial feasibility studies are done, showing the suitability of the investment with respect to the parameters set by our clients.  

  Technical Projects and Administrative Authorisation:

GRUPO PLANIFICACIONES MUNDIALES will carry out all technical documentation and paperwork necessary to obtain permits and licenses required, both for the execution of the facilities and for getting the project up and running.

  Concession of the Connection Points:

All necessary paperwork and contacts with suppliers to achieve the concession of licenses to the distribution grid will be handled by us.

  Execution of the Project:

GRUPO PLANIFICACIONES MUNDIALES comprises a team of technical experts highly-experienced in setting up photovoltaic facilities of different types.  The plant will always be covered by the strictest guarantees as will the assembly and connection of modules and equipment, including the civil engineering necessary through to the start-up and operation of the facility.  All materials used will be of the highest standard and brands covered by the best guarantees for function and durability as well as all necessary connections to the grid and equipment as designated by the electric supply company.

  Start-up:

All necessary tests will be run to ensure the proper operation of the facility and its connection to the grid.  The Owner will receive all pertinent documentation and will also be given a remote-control system to access and handle operations via the web-site.

  Maintenance of the facilities:

GRUPO PLANIFICACIONES MUNDIALES commits itself to maintaining the facilities for three years * after start-up.  After this period the client shall have the option of a maintenance contract offering the best conditions available.   (*according to parameters established).
