Nestled in the serene mountains of Casares, just a 20-minute drive from Estepona, lies a modernised Andalusian villa that blends traditional charm with contemporary comforts. The property’s design captures the essence of an eco-friendly home which is why this property offers a unique living experience. Does the idea of sustainable energy at a beautiful traditional Andalusian villa excite you? Yes? That’s what I thought! Let’s get into it.
Embracing Solar Energy for Sustainable Living
One of the standout features of this luxury country villa in Casares is undoubtedly its solar energy system. The 10KW solar installation not only reduces reliance on conventional power sources but also offers significant benefits. With the many sun hours we have here in the south of Spain, Andalucía, the question becomes: “When are you installing solar?” and not “Should you install solar?”. These are the top reasons to install solar yesterday!
- Cost saving: Homeowners save a large sum each year based on an average of four peak sun hours a day.
- Environmental impact: Using solar energy significantly reduces the carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable future. The many hours of sunshine that Andalusia enjoys each year, are put to good use with a solar installation like this one.
- Energy independence: Generating your own electricity provides energy security, protecting you from fluctuating energy prices.
- Solar tax incentives: The Andalusian government offers subsidies, tax reductions, and grants for solar panel installations through the Plan Ecovivienda. Read more specifics here.
Water Heating through Solar
Taking into consideration that the sun shines more than 320 days in Spain, almost 90% of the year, the photovoltaic installation is not a question but a must at luxury country properties in Andalusia.
Beyond electricity generation, this Andalusian Villa benefits from solar water heating systems, which use energy from the sun to heat the water stored in a hot water cylinder or thermal store. While the availability of solar energy varies throughout the year, these systems can provide a substantial portion of the hot water required annually, thereby reducing your energy bills. This Andalusian villa ticks all the boxes when it comes to smart & energy efficient homes!
Why choose an energy-efficient Andalusian Villa?
Andalusia, Spain, has the ideal climate to invest in solar energy. Photovoltaic panels and thermal solar panels are cost-effective, sustainable and the perfect solution for independent / off-grid living. The truth is, the initial investment is large and over time you gain back your investment. So, in this case, that investment has already been made. You need not to worry about making further investments in energy-efficiency solutions. At this Andalusian villa in Casares you just enjoy the profits! Isn’t that just wonderful?
