Welcome to Solar for Future!
Solar for Future is an energy consultancy founded by a few committed members of the climate movement. Our aim is to inform people independently about the advantages of having their own photovoltaic system, to find suitable systems from reputable providers and, finally, to find the right electricity tariffs.
Our first branch is located in Benissa-Costa on the Costa Blanca in Spain, where the sun is known to shine particularly frequently and intensely. As Spain also offers particularly favorable conditions and state subsidies, it is worthwhile having your own PV system here in the vast majority of cases.
Do you own your own property and are interested in this topic?
Then simply get in touch with us for a free, no-obligation consultation. After viewing your current electricity bill, we can already assess whether a solar system is worthwhile for you and what size should be planned. You can see an overview of our cooperation partner’s prices here!
We are happy to advise you in Spanish, German or English.

All prices are final prices, including VAT, installation and all permits.
The systems can be expanded at any time, for example with additional modules, a wallbox for charging an electric car or a battery storage unit.
Warranty:
10 years on the inverter
25 years on the modules.
Terms and conditions
- The prices only apply to PV systems on the Costa Blanca.
- Other system sizes on request.
- All prices are final prices including installation, permits and VAT.
- The prices are for guidance only and are subject to change.
- However, we will be happy to prepare a binding individual offer for you free of charge.
- Conditions: Down payment of 40% on conclusion of contract, 60% after installation.
- Warranty: 25 years on PV modules and 10 years on inverters.
- The systems can be expanded as required, for example with additional modules or battery storage.
- Financing is possible for private individuals. Please inquire!
- In most municipalities there is a discount on the property tax (IBI).
- The systems use high-quality components, for example from Huawei and Longi.
- Our partner has been on the market for 30 years and takes care of the installation and all permits.
Why is the installation of a solar system in Spain particularly interesting?
- Many houses have air conditioning and electric heating, which is why electricity consumption is sometimes quite high. During the day, a PV system can cover a large part of the required electricity demand. This means that the investment often pays for itself after around 5 years.
- Temperatures will continue to rise in the future, which will further increase the demand for electricity from air conditioning systems.
- Iberdrola offers special tariffs for PV system owners that make it possible to feed excess production into the grid during the day and purchase electricity at a reduced rate at night. Even if the kilowatt hours are not billed 1:1, with good planning it is possible to reduce the electricity bill to the fixed costs and, depending on the tariff, even to zero.
- Solar cloud / virtual batteries can be used to accumulate money in months with high overproduction, which can be used in months with high demand. However, these tariffs sometimes offer a lower feed-in tariff.
- The bureaucratic hurdles are manageable compared to Germany, as you are not listed as a supplier but are billed directly by the grid operator and receive a credit note for your consumption. Any surplus is therefore not paid out, which is why the size of the system should be based on consumption.
- Many municipalities offer a discount on property tax (IBI) of up to 50% over several years. This must be applied for once a year.
- The prices for solar systems have fallen significantly in recent years. Our cooperation partner already offers complete systems from € 4,350 (2.88 kWp).
Why is the Solar for Future partner particularly recommendable?
- He takes care of all approvals and the complete installation, is based at the Costa Blanca, installs high-quality components and can also be contacted in case of problems – even in English.
- He can also draw on 30 years of experience and makes fair offers.
- The ability to expand and repair systems and replace individual components is particularly important to us. We also want to recycle old components in the future.
When is a battery storage system worthwhile?
- A battery storage unit, available from around €5,000, can expand any solar installation.
- From a purely financial perspective, however, it is often not worthwhile if you already have a favourable electricity tariff with a high feed-in compensation and low consumption price. Typical values are around 8 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity fed into the grid and 12 to 15 cents per kilowatt hour for electricity taken from the grid.
- We will be happy to support you in finding the right tariff for your needs.
- From a technical point of view, storage can still make sense, for example if an emergency power supply is required, if the household connection allows only limited capacity, or if a self-sufficient, off-grid system is planned – as is often the case in remote mountain areas without a grid connection.
- It is important to know that a battery storage system does not automatically provide backup power. For this, a Huawei Smart Guard is required, which costs around €1,500 for a single-phase connection.
Are heat pumps a good option?
- A heat pump is a particularly sensible addition to a photovoltaic system: it uses your self-produced electricity to efficiently generate hot water for central heating, the pool, or a boiler.
- Split air-conditioning units – very common in Spain – are a special type of heat pump that can cool, heat, and dehumidify. Current devices generate up to 5 kWh of heating or cooling from just 1 kWh of electricity.
- Another advantage is convenience: modern models can be controlled via app, making it easy to remove moisture from critical rooms even when you are away in winter. In addition, the latest air-conditioning units include cleaning and disinfection functions, which can likewise be activated via the app.
- Prices: Entry-level models including installation start at around €850. We are also happy to advise you and, if desired, provide you with a non-binding, tailor-made offer from a competent local installer.
