About Costa Solar Guide
Costa Solar Guide is an independent solar information and introduction service from the team behind weSwitchSpain. We help property owners understand solar quotes, batteries, export compensation and post-install electricity tariffs before they make expensive decisions.
Why We Exist
Most solar websites you encounter are owned by installation companies. Naturally, their primary objective is to sell you hardware — often as many panels and physical batteries as can physically fit on your roof.
Costa Solar Guide is different. We are not a solar installer. We do not employ installation crews, and we do not represent any single hardware manufacturer. Instead, we act as a trusted consumer advisor. We look at the full picture: your historical electricity bills, your hourly occupancy patterns, your local municipal tax discounts, and the best post-installation electricity tariffs.
Our Relationship with weSwitchSpain
Costa Solar Guide is built by the team behind weSwitchSpain, an independent electricity tariff comparison and switching service for Spain. Together, our services cover the full solar journey: from initial suitability checks and installer introduction, through to post-installation electricity tariff review and bill optimisation.
weSwitchSpain focuses on helping households find the best electricity supplier, virtual battery tariff, and export compensation arrangement after solar is installed. Costa Solar Guide focuses on the solar itself — quote reviews, installer vetting, battery sizing, and legalisation guidance.
Both services are independent of solar installers and electricity suppliers and are funded through transparent referral arrangements described in our Referral Disclosure.
Independent
Our analysis is driven by your bill data and consumption profile, not sales targets or installer quotas.
Vetted Partners
We only introduce you to installers who pass our safety, insurance, and licensing checks. Customers remain free to choose any installer.
Full Journey
We support you from pre-sale sizing to post-install export tariff optimisation alongside weSwitchSpain.

Our Commercial Model
We believe in complete transparency. To keep our advice, tools, and calculators free for consumers, we may receive a referral or introduction fee from partner installers if you request an introduction or proceed with a quotation. These fees are paid by the installer as part of their marketing cost and do not increase the price you are quoted.
Our partner terms require installers not to add our referral fee as a separate charge to your quote. You remain completely free to choose any installer, and we will never pressure you to use a specific company.
Customer-First Promise
We aim to introduce suitable installers only where appropriate. If our service is not right for your situation, we will tell you. We will never recommend a poor installer to earn a fee, and we only maintain partnerships with companies who register all systems legally and handle problems promptly.
