The cost depends on your consumption, roof size, orientation and whether you add a battery. At Solarlife we prepare a personalised, no-obligation estimate — use our contact form to get one within 24h.
There are IRPF (income tax) deductions and, depending on the municipality, IBI and ICIO rebates for self-consumption installations. Check our Tax Incentives page, updated quarterly.
The typical payback period in Malaga and the Costa del Sol is usually between 5 and 9 years, depending on consumption, roof orientation and whether a battery is included. We provide a personalised, no-obligation estimate.
A microinverter is a small electronic device located under each solar panel. Its main job is to convert the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) that can be used directly in the house or exported to the grid.
Each microinverter is a single-phase device. Three-phase installations are built with single-phase microinverters distributed across the phases, and export limiting controls consumption on each phase using the control system's current transformers.
The system offers export control by reducing energy output at each microinverter to keep exports at a defined level, which can be zero for a zero-export installation.
Simulations for Madrid with limited roof space have shown up to 30% more power on the roof and 42% higher performance, with half the degradation, covered by the manufacturer's 25-year warranty. Contact Solarlife for a personalised simulation.
All installed AC modules are connected to the internet, which activates the microinverter's 25-year warranty and sends data to the Enphase Enlighten platform, from where Solarlife receives alerts for any faulty equipment.
No. The microinverter can be removed from the solar module so each component can be repaired separately.
Yes. If the microinverter (or its associated solar module) fails, only that module shuts down and the rest of the system keeps running normally — a key benefit of AC modules.
AC solutions are compatible with AC-coupled energy storage solutions. Using Enphase Storage you can see energy flows in Enlighten. With another brand, you'll need its own app.
A string inverter has a single point of failure: if it fails, the whole array goes offline. With microinverters, each module has its own dedicated inverter and only that module disconnects if it fails. Enphase microinverters have a publicly stated return rate of 0.05% (1 in 2000) and an estimated service life of over 25 years, compared to around 10 years for a string inverter.
The AC solution offers higher performance, an easier and faster installation, and greater flexibility, plus advantages in reliability, shade management and low-light energy response.
