Clever Solar designs, supplies and installs photovoltaic systems for homes, residential buildings, industrial warehouses and solar farms up to at least 500 kW, while Capital Projects focuses on utility‑scale plants for investors in Europe and Africa.
Clever Solar is based in Spain and delivers projects locally, while Capital Projects develops and structures solar plants across Europe and selected African markets in partnership with Sol&Only
All installations and legalisation procedures are carried out by professional, certified photovoltaic installers, while Clever Solar provides the engineering, equipment and project management.
Suitability depends on your electricity consumption profile, available roof or ground area, orientation and shading; Clever Solar first performs an initial feasibility study using your bills and, for businesses, hourly consumption curves
For a standard single‑family home, a common system size is around 3 kW, which usually corresponds to roughly 10 photovoltaic panels and can significantly reduce the electricity bill.
Yes, Clever Solar designs shared self‑consumption systems that can supply a group of nearby homes or units from one photovoltaic plant, distributing the benefits among the participating users.
Yes, the company implements larger rooftop systems on industrial buildings and commercial premises, such as the 100.1 kWp system with 220 panels installed for Josep Arbós S.L. to cover more than half of its annual demand
Clever Solar installs grid‑connected self‑consumption systems with or without batteries, grid‑sale plants, off‑grid installations with storage and solar pumping systems, choosing the configuration that best fits each project
The systems use high‑quality panels that include up to 25 years of product and production guarantees, which is crucial to ensure long‑term performance and profitability.
The share depends on system size and consumption pattern; for example, a 100.1 kWp installation designed by Clever Solar covers around 51% of an industrial client’s annual consumption and achieves an autoconsumption ratio above one‑third
Engineering teams use orientation, inclination and location data combined with tools such as PVGIS to simulate annual and hourly photovoltaic production under realistic conditions.
Savings vary by project, but business cases show annual reductions in energy costs above €12,000 and payback times slightly above four years when discounts and subsidies are applied.
Panel prices have dropped consistently, with estimated annual reductions of around 10% since 2018, which makes the cost low compared to the long‑term savings they generate.
Many projects benefit from public incentives, subsidies and discounts, which shorten the payback period; in detailed studies, these elements are integrated into the economic analysis and ROI calculation.
Yes, grid‑connected systems can inject surplus energy into the grid, either through compensation schemes or full sale in the wholesale market in the case of dedicated grid‑sale plants.
Capital Projects is the division focused on developing, building and operating large‑scale solar plants for its own portfolio and third‑party investors, with a target of 17 MW installed by 2025 and 50 MW by 2026.
The current programme seeks around €11.3 million to finance 6.4 MW of ready‑to‑build assets and 50 MW in development, combining 70% debt and 30% equity
For the 6.4 MW ready‑to‑build portfolio, the projected return on investment is slightly above 100% over the contract period, supported by long‑term power purchase guarantees.
The plants benefit from a 20‑year energy purchase guarantee from the French government, formalised in contracts and protected by law, which underpins cash flows and reduces risk.
Sol&Only provides exclusive usufruct rights for 6.4 MW and access to a broader pipeline of ready‑to‑build projects, enabling faster deployment and a strong project pipeline for investors.
The process includes an initial study, tailored project design, supply of high‑quality materials, professional installation, legalisation and connection, after which the client immediately starts saving.
Timelines depend on system size and permitting, but the team emphasizes rigorous schedules and optimized processes so residential and standard commercial systems can be installed in a short timeframe once approvals are in place.
Systems can be monitored to track production, self‑consumption and savings, and the company provides ongoing support for maintenance, troubleshooting and performance optimization of the plants.
Prospective clients and investors can contact the director, Jordi Fumanal, by phone or email or via the website to share their energy data and project idea, after which a tailored technical and financial proposal is prepared
