Short answer: panels cover your daytime use and a home battery stores the surplus for the evening and night. The ideal combination depends on your consumption, your daily rhythm and your budget. A hybrid inverter links the two intelligently.
Step 1: know your consumption
Look at your annual usage (kWh on your bill) and when you use electricity. Do you work from home during the day, or use more in the evening? That determines how much a battery helps.
Step 2: choose the number of panels
A typical Costa Blanca home lands around 3-5 kWp (6-10 panels). That often covers 50-70% of annual consumption without a battery.
Step 3: choose the hybrid inverter
A hybrid inverter, such as the Solis S6 series, manages both panels and battery. Pick one that matches your current power and leaves room to expand.
Step 4: set the battery capacity
For an average household (8-12 kWh/day), a LithTech battery of 5-10 kWh is usually ideal. If you use more in the evening, choose a larger one (up to 16 kWh or modular expandable).
The result
With the right combination, your self-consumption rises from 30-40% to 70-80%, your bill drops sharply and you have backup during outages. Innovadoras sizes the whole system and handles installation and legalisation. Request a free study.
