The young engineers offer 3D recreations of the visual impact of the panels, the forecast of 25-year electricity bills and leasing and advance purchase options for electrical surpluses
Decree 244/19 of April 5, which regulates electric self-consumption, "has opened a world of opportunities for communities of neighbors, businesses, educational centers and private homes," affirm the recent graduates of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) Gonzalo Cruzado Mercader and Miguel Martínez Royo, who created the Crusol company, of photovoltaic projects and installations.
"For the first time, it is more profitable to generate your own electricity than to buy it," says Cruzado, advocating to change the paradigm of the energy system, so that "cities cease to be electric sinks and become power generators."
A transformation that will be even more necessary in the near future.
"The boom in electric cars will require customers to become producers," say these young entrepreneurs.
Gonzalo Cruzado has a degree in Industrial Chemical Engineering from the UPCT, in which Miguel Martínez studied the degree in Industrial Technology Engineering and the Master's degree in Industrial Engineering.
"The Polytechnic of Cartagena is prepared to face any problem, thanks to its demanding teachers," said Cruzado, who during his student stage acquired business experience organizing student parties.
“I managed to manage teams of 80 people,†he recalls.
His latest company is already signing contracts and closing projects of photovoltaic installations in industrial buildings and neighboring communities.
Community self-consumption, banned and penalized entities, and the possibility of selling surpluses "will make companies more competitive and it is a huge opportunity for schools, which have large areas with large periods without consumption to make the surplus generated profitable," they recommend .
"The prices of the equipment have dropped a lot and you no longer have to invest in batteries, because the remaining electricity can be turned over to the grid," Martínez Royo explains.
The amortization periods of these facilities are between 6 and 8 years, depending on the installed power and consumption patterns.
"The important thing is to make custom installations, to match the curve of daily photovoltaic generation to the consumption curve," reasoned the graduates of the Polytechnic, which have software that allows instantaneously know the patterns of consumption per hour in the communities of neighbors.
The company, in which the entrepreneur David Ayala also participates contributing his experience in the business world, offers the 3D projection of photovoltaic installations to anticipate their visual impact and study the shadows that the buildings around him will generate.
The company is also a representative of electric marketers, "to get our customers rates according to their photovoltaic installations," they add.
To illustrate the savings that can be achieved, generate the simulation of the resulting electric bills for the next 25 years.
Other additional options offered are the advance purchase of electrical surpluses, 'leasing' to acquire the equipment and maintenance service on time.
Crusol is located in the European Business and Innovation Center of Cartagena (CEEIC), where in addition to the assignment of space they have received advice from the Industry 4.0 project coordinator, José Carlos García.
"In addition to the training obtained at the University, the courses of the College of Industrial Technical Engineers have been very useful," says Cruzado.
