Solar energy for self-consumption in a rural tourism house.
Description
The Sol e Chuva Hotel is located 17 kilometres from Montalegre, by the Pisões Dam, the country's second-largest.
Open for over 30 years, the Sol e Chuva Hotel is now widely recognized in the Montalegre restaurant and hotel scene. The hotel has eight rooms, a bar, and a restaurant famous for its traditional local recipes which have been served in town for over four decades. Sol e Chuva also hosts events overlooking the blue Rabagão River.
The funds raised through this campaign will be used to purchase a 28.08kWp photovoltaic plant for self-consumption. The plant will include 52 photovoltaic panels, a car park system and two 11kW chargers for electric vehicles.
The installation of the power plant and chargers will be the responsibility of Ventos e Argumentos - Soluções de Energia, Lda., a Portuguese energy service provider.
The project has a budget of about €40,000, of which 80% (€32,900) will be financed through GoParity, 15% through Sol e Chuva's own capital, and 5% will be secured by the installer and repaid at a 1% rate a year by Sol e Chuva.
The Impact
Direct:
- Contributing to the decarbonization of the economy, helping to avoid the emission of CO2: with an estimated clean energy production of 44 MWh/year, the solar plant will help avoid the emission of 7,1 tons of CO2 per year, the equivalent of planting 324 trees.
Indirect:
- Promotion of e-mobility: installing two charger columns for electric vehicles at the Hotel promotes e-mobility and a more conscious approach for the tourism segment.

Financial viability
This investment will eliminate part of the costs associated with electricity consumption and position the compound as an "environmentally friendly" location.
The maturity of the loan was calculated so that the installments will be paid by the savings generated in the electricity bill. The photovoltaic plant will generate an average annual saving of € 6,000 in electricity costs, which ensures the sustainability of the project.
EV charging is a new source of revenue for the promoter.
