On Wednesday 26th February, TSO. The South Oracle in Sevilla became an authentic television studio to shoot the program called ‘Our Companies’ of Cámara de Sevilla, presented by the journalist Cristóbal Cervantes, made by Playmedia Producciones and broadcasted on 7TV Andalucía
This is the photographic summary
The Pamplona City Council has chosen TSO’s ultralight panel to install a photovoltaic plant for self-consumption on the new sustainable roof of the Public Safety building, where the Municipal Police is located. The project has been carried out by Construcciones Leache, S. L. with an investment of 197,169 Euros.
This construction company has provided the Public Safety building in Pamplona with a modular roof made of wood from sustainable forests, in which they are integrated 266 ultralight flexible solar panels, which are exclusive products of the Sevillian company TSO, The South Oracle.
The photovoltaic plant of about 80 kW, with an estimated production of 95 MWh per year, will cover up to 20% of the energy consumed by the building. In terms of aesthetics, TSO has guaranteed a zero-visual impact with the total integration of their ultralight panels on the new sustainable roof. This is possible thanks to the technical features of these exclusive solar panels, which are flexible, glassfree, weigh less than 5 kilos and can be customized and adapted to any surface, reducing the installation time by up to 70% compared to that used in photovoltaic installations with conventional panels.
For this project, the ultralight TSO panel selected has no profile, has its junction box on the front and is composed by 60 monocrystalline cells, giving it a maximum power of 290 watts. The photovoltaic plant is made up of 38 rows of seven panels each, all of them bonded with a special polymer along a 900 square meters surface. This roof is supported and fixed on the existing one, serving also as waterproofing and improving the thermal insulation of the building. It is a ‘2 in 1’ system called ‘plug and play’ (roof plus photovoltaic installation) connected to the building’s interior network.
The electrical connection of these panels also presents an innovative solution. It has been integrated into a smart micro-network in the same building using BeePlanet’s reused second life battery storage, V2G technology charging posts for municipal electric vehicles and micro-network control technology developed by CENER. All this action is part of the European Horizon 2020 project called Stardust, to which the Pamplona City Council is a partner.
Furthermore, the Sevillian company TSO is a pioneer in the participation of photovoltaic integration projects in surfaces, buildings or existing structures. Some examples of this are the photovoltaic solar plant integrated in the carports of the Emirates Towers parking lot in Dubai and in the façade of Tower 2 in Seville, being this latter the first architectural integration in an existing façade in Europe.
Last Thursday 5th December TSO, The South Oracle participated in O&M and Asset Management 2019 presenting its OSR patent (Optimized Solar Repowerning).
Here’s a photographic summary, an event organized by SolarPower Europe y Solar Trade Association:
The Sevillian magazine PYMES Magazine has published an interview with our CEO, Antonio Calo, in its October edition. It reviews the beginnings in the photovoltaic sector of the Director of TSO of the innovative projects that we carry out and also talks about the Solar Electric Tariff.

On Saturday 21 September 2019, the newspaper ABC published in its Economy section a report about us, in which, in addition to reviewing the current situation in Spain in the photovoltaic sector, there was room for the innovative projects that TSO is carrying out.
Despensa San Nicolás trusts in TSO to be the first organic food company in Spain to signs a PPA contract to produce organic eggs. These mass media have posted this project:

Once again, the ROYSE Group, Bearings and Services, S.L. relies on TSO, The South Oracle, for its experience in the solar photovoltaic sector, to expand its self-consumption offer with the installation of four new solar plants between its delegations of Andalusia and Madrid.
The company, one of the world leaders in bearings, celebrates its 40th Anniversary, joining the energy transition with TSO and beginning a new stage oriented towards environmental sustainability. For this, the total power contracted will be about 30 kWp, estimating an annual production well above 40,000 kWh per year. With this power distributed among the new four photovoltaic plants, ROYSE will achieve a reduction of 16 tons in its annual CO2 emissions, equivalent to 1,066 trees. In addition, the company is committed to energy storage with the installation of innovative batteries offered by TSO, which will allow ROYSE to consume clean energy at night.
TSO is once again the company chosen by ROYSE for the design and installation of its new solar plants, thanks to the quality, profitability and excellence of its exclusive ultralight flexible solar panel, PSFU (eArche®). We remind that the bearing firm has benefited from the energy self-consumption of the hand of TSO since last July, in two of its delegations in Seville capital. Both located in the Parsi Industrial Area, one of 27 kWp and another of 5.3 kWp.
According to the data of our monitoring system, the photovoltaic plant of greater power (27 kWp) has generated savings of 25% in its first six months of life (from July to December 2018). This percentage translates into about 3,000 euros of savings in the electricity bill and a reduction of more than 10 tons in CO2 emissions.

TSO, The South Oracle, has signed the first PPA into healthcare sector with Beiman CPM Aljarafe clinic, a multidisciplinary leading center in Spain.
The clinic will have a solar plant of 41.6 kWp for instant self-consumption, which will be installed over its 200 square meter rooftop space with the ultralight flexible solar panel, exclusive of TSO.
This installation will cover 89.35% of health center’s annual electricity day hours consumption and will reduce its annual emissions of CO2 in 28.600 kg, reaching an accumulated decrease of 673.700 kg throughout its estimated useful life.
Through PPA contracts, TSO offers their customers a non-risk way of financing while it takes care of all the bureaucracy system, engineering, installation to start-up the photovoltaic solar plant. In addition, the customer fixes his electricity price for 10 years, independently to electricity market prices, and will benefit from 100% of the savings.
Other advantages of TSO PPA contract is the seal ECO20® , which certifies that the healthcare center is powered with electricity from the sun.
Similarly, on December in 2017, The South Oracle was pioneer in the photovoltaic market with the first PPA contract into Spanish agro-food sector. The beneficiary company was Patatas Arrebola Group, a Sevillian firm, which now has an instant self-consumption solar photovoltaic plant of 41.28 kWp, with an annual production of 50,000 kWh. (It reduces 26 tons of CO2 emissions per year).
