Most countries have multiple sources of energy available to them and islands have a particular advantage. With energy supplies changing worldwide, individuals are taking matters into their own hands to ensure continuity of electrical supply and to control costs. A great many people are still leaving northern Europe to enjoy a better lifestyle and those that choose Corfu have massive opportunities to tap into the free energy available on this unique island. Installation costs are higher than for conventional systems, but in a world of escalating prices, the ongoing costs are minimal.
One of the latest companies to be included in ‘Roda Pages’ is BTTC, owned and managed by Dimitris Balos, and one of BTTC’s specialisms is the design & installation of domestic alternative energy systems. There are many sources of alternative energy on Corfu but, in particular, we have solar energy & wind energy and systems are available to harness one or both of these for domestic use. Combining both systems has distinct advantages in that the island’s seasonal wind and solar resources are exploited to the greatest advantage. These hybrid systems provide a more consistent year-round output utilising winter winds and summer sun for the benefit of the consumer.
If you are thinking of having a house built in Corfu, it may be worth taking a longer-term view of your energy needs by committing more capital to installation in the knowledge that you will save money in running costs later on. It may be that you already own a home on the Island and you simply want to upgrade your current system and become more independent. Whatever your position, your first step should be to speak to Dimitris at BTTC who will advise you of the best way to proceed.
