Solar360

Solar360 de Repsol y Movistar is a Spanish company dedicated to photovoltaic self-consumption, created in June 2022 as a strategic joint venture between the energy group Repsol and Telefónica España through its Movistar brand. The venture combines Repsol's experience in energy solutions with Telefónica's technological and connectivity capabilities, with the stated ambition of leading the residential and business solar self-consumption market in Spain. It operates across the whole country and serves three main customer segments: households, businesses and communities of neighbours (comunidades de vecinos). The company's core offer is the installation of solar panels, either as a conventional installation or as a "smart solar installation" that pairs panels with batteries to maximise savings. Beyond panels, Solar360 has expanded into aerothermal climate control (aerotermia), which uses outside air to provide heating, cooling and domestic hot water. It also provides maintenance services, personalised financing, advice on public subsidies and grants for renewables, and a mobile application that lets customers monitor consumption, see savings and track the environmental impact of their installation. A distinctive element of the brand is its digital and artificial-intelligence layer. The "Plan Inteligente Solar360" combines solar panels with an AI-based management system that analyses real-time energy consumption, usage patterns and weather conditions, and is offered as a subscription model that lowers the initial investment through a monthly fee covering installation, maintenance and operation of the battery and inverter. The company also runs a referral programme, the "Cadena Solar", rewarding customers and their friends with a 360-euro bonus for recommendations, and it markets a Repsol electricity tariff, Repsol Solar Ahorra, that compensates customers for surplus energy fed into the grid. Solar360 is a joint venture rather than a listed company. Its board of directors includes representatives of both founding companies. In September 2024, Valero Marín, Repsol's general director of Cliente and a member of its executive committee, took over the presidency of Solar360, succeeding Emilio Gayo, then chairman of Telefónica España. Among its most visible projects is the installation of solar panels at the Spanish Antarctic Base Gabriel de Castilla on Deception Island, carried out with the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN), which allows the base to run on renewable energy for volcanic monitoring and communications even during the Antarctic winter.

Solar360 de Repsol y Movistar was founded in June 2022 as the result of a strategic alliance between Repsol and Telefónica España, operating through its Movistar brand. The joint venture was created with the goal of leading the photovoltaic self-consumption market in Spain, combining Repsol's experience in energy solutions with Telefónica's technological capacity. From its launch, Solar360 offered services covering the installation of smart solar panels, maintenance services, personalised financing and a mobile application to monitor and optimise energy consumption in real time, targeting residential customers, communities of neighbours and businesses. The company operates throughout Spain, providing a range of solar self-consumption services: installation of solar panels in homes and businesses, maintenance and management of photovoltaic installations, advice and financing to optimise self-consumption, and advice on government subsidies and grants for renewable energies. Among its most notable projects is the installation of solar panels at the Spanish Antarctic Base Gabriel de Castilla, located on Deception Island. This initiative, carried out in collaboration with the Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN), allows the base to have renewable energy for volcanic monitoring and communications, even during the Antarctic winter months. Solar360 has also incorporated artificial intelligence into its self-consumption systems to improve energy efficiency and optimise consumption management. The Plan Inteligente Solar360 combines the installation of solar panels with an AI-based management system that analyses energy consumption, usage patterns and weather conditions in real time. The system includes a mobile application that allows users to monitor their consumption, view the savings obtained and learn about the environmental impact of the installation. This initiative forms part of the company's strategy to promote the use of renewable energies and sustainability. In the framework of its expansion into renewable energies, Solar360 added aerothermal climate control (aerotermia) to its catalogue of solutions, providing residential and business users with an efficient and sustainable alternative for climate control. This technology uses the energy of the outside air to generate heating in winter, cooling in summer and domestic hot water throughout the year. In September 2024, Valero Marín, Repsol's general director of Cliente and a member of its executive committee, assumed the presidency of Solar360, replacing Emilio Gayo, chairman of Telefónica España. The board of directors of Solar360 de Repsol y Movistar is composed of representatives of both founding companies.
