The Sant Cugat engineering firm Origen Solar bets on comprehensive advice that combines technical project, administrative management, and optimisation of available incentives.
The Sant Cugat engineering firm Origen Solar has become a benchmark for those looking to make the leap to photovoltaic self-consumption in the province of Barcelona. The company, based in Sant Cugat del Vallès, offers a service that goes far beyond the installation of panels: it advises from the energy study to the processing of bonuses and tax deductions.
In 2026, self-consumption remains one of the most profitable investments for homes and businesses. In addition to the immediate reduction in the electricity bill, there are tax incentives that shorten the payback period. At the national level, energy efficiency improvement actions can access deductions in personal income tax (IRPF), while many municipalities, such as Sant Cugat del Vallès, maintain bonuses in property tax (IBI) and construction tax (ICIO) for solar installations.
However, the main obstacle is not the technology, but the lack of information. Many owners are unaware of what aid they can apply for or what procedures are necessary to benefit from the incentives. Administrative processing, legalisation of installations, energy certifications, or management of municipal bonuses remain a barrier that hinders decision-making.
This is where Origen Solar makes a difference. The company develops comprehensive projects for photovoltaic solar energy, with or without batteries, as well as aerothermal solutions. It takes on all phases of the process: energy study, technical project, installation, legalisation, energy certifications, and processing of bonuses, tax deductions, and grants.
Daniel Rubio, executive director of Origen Solar, explains that the goal is for the client to understand from the very first moment what their investment will be, what savings they will obtain, what aid they can apply for, and what the economic return of the project will be. “We offer comprehensive advice, both from a technical and economic perspective, so that the client can make decisions with all the information on the table,” he states.
Each project is studied individually, taking into account consumption habits, building characteristics, and client objectives. This analysis allows for the correct sizing of the installation, assessing the incorporation of other complementary technologies, such as aerothermal systems or battery storage systems, and developing a realistic forecast of the return on investment.
Since its foundation in February 2020, Origen Solar has opted for a model based on proximity, transparency, and continuous support for the client. The company monitors the performance of installations, offers maintenance services, and continues to expand its catalogue of renewable solutions to meet the new energy needs of individuals, homeowners' associations, and businesses.
At a time when self-consumption continues to gain prominence, the combination of a well-dimensioned technical project, efficient management of tax incentives, and specialised advice is consolidating as one of the key factors for making the investment even more profitable and secure. Residents of Sant Cugat and the entire province can benefit from these local bonuses, which reduce the initial cost and accelerate payback.
For those considering taking the step, the first move is to request a personalised energy study. Origen Solar offers this service without obligation, and from there, it develops a tailored project with all the economic and technical details.
