Frequently asked questions about solar panels

Sabemos que, ao considerar investir em energia solar, surgem naturalmente várias dúvidas e na Atlantic Energy, acreditamos que a informação é a base da confiança.

Por isso, reunimos as perguntas mais frequentes dos nossos clientes, com respostas diretas e esclarecedoras.

How much does it cost to install solar panels with Atlantic Energy?

The cost depends on energy consumption, property type, and required power. We always create a free, personalized study showing costs, available support, estimated savings, and investment payback period. On average, most of our clients recover their investment in 4 to 6 years, with over 20 years of virtually free energy.

Do Atlantic Energy's solutions include batteries?

Yes. We develop complete solutions, which can include solar panels, batteries, and intelligent control systems. Batteries allow for the storage of excess energy and increase independence from the grid.

How much can I save per year with solar panels?

Depends on the sector:

  • Agriculture and livestock farming: average savings above €3,000/year.
  • Industry: significant reductions in peak hours.
  • Hospitality and tourism: less dependence on the network and greater efficiency.
  • Housing: immediate reduction in monthly bill.

Each offer includes a realistic savings estimate based on your consumption patterns.

Does Atlantic Energy perform installations throughout the country?

Yes. We operate throughout the country, with a presence in the Azores and Lisbon, and teams prepared to work in industries, hotels, farms, and homes.

Do solar panels require maintenance?

Maintenance is minimal. We provide continuous monitoring, preventive maintenance, and technical assistance whenever necessary. The panels have a 25-year warranty, and the batteries have a 10-year warranty.

What is the lifespan of a photovoltaic system?

A well-installed system lasts 25 to 30 years. We work with advanced technologies and certified manufacturers to guarantee maximum long-term performance.

Does Atlantic Energy help with financing?

Yes. We partner with ABANCA Portugal to offer competitive credit solutions. For mainland Portugal, we offer PPA (Payment for Installments), interest-free installments, and other flexible options.

Is it worth installing solar panels for agriculture and livestock farming?

Yes, it is one of the sectors where the return is fastest.
Milking, refrigeration, irrigation and air conditioning systems consume a lot of energy. With a photovoltaic system, many farms save thousands of euros per year and have access to subsidies of up to 80% (PEPAC).

Are Atlantic Energy's solutions truly customized?

Yes. We don't use pre-made kits. Each project includes a technical study, consumption analysis, 3D simulation, and a proposal tailored to your business or home.

Does Atlantic Energy work with large-scale industrial projects?

We work with large-scale industries, factories, hotels, and agricultural operations. Our teams have international experience, guaranteeing engineering excellence and safe execution.

How can I tell if my home or business is suitable for solar panels?

Our team conducts a complete analysis: orientation, slope, available area, consumption, and technical feasibility. The study is free and without obligation.

What is the Agricultural Industry Decarbonization Protocol (PDIA)?

It is a program developed by Atlantic Energy to help agricultural and livestock producers reduce costs and emissions.

  • Solar energy
  • Public support
  • Flexible financing
  • Sustainability certifications
  • Continuous monitoring

More than 15 dairy farmers are already benefiting from this protocol.

How long does it take to install solar panels?
