In Martigues, he made his 13 panels profitable in less than 5 years!

  • Panels : 13 photovoltaic panels

For Yves, two aspects were particularly important in his decision to purchase solar panels:

  • Contributing to our country’s green energy effort
  • Having the pleasure of consuming his own energy.

He invited us to his home in Martigues to tell us about his project, which will be installed in 2023 ⬇️

Yves lives in Martigues, in a 160 m² house that hosts up to eight people during the summer. Before installing his 13 Dualsun FLASH solar panels, his annual electricity bill was about €3,000.

Because he has a swimming pool and regularly charges a hybrid car, his main goal was to cut his electricity costs. He therefore installed 13 Dualsun panels, totalling roughly 6 kWp. The system has lowered his electricity spend by about 30 %.

Most striking is that the panels have halved his high‑tariff (peak‑hour) consumption in kWh, something Yves cared about deeply. He has also learned to manage his usage more smartly. Despite higher energy prices, his annual bill has dropped from €3,000 to €2,000.

Yves says Dualsun stands out for product quality and corporate commitment—factors that convinced him the long warranties would translate into real‑world results. With today’s energy prices, his payback time is now under five years, making the installation a sound investment.

The project qualified for government incentives, and the combination of careful consumption management and solar production fully offsets price hikes, as his bills confirm.

Thanks to micro‑inverters, Yves can monitor panel performance in real time and sees that the promised output is delivered. He sums it up simply: “When you get a turnkey offer with quality products, satisfaction follows.”

“Solar power was also a way of being able to live in self-consumption, and it’s true that this principle accelerated my decision insofar as I can now generate the energy I need myself”. Yves
