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.
Every Tuesday at 7 pm, the journalist Diego García Cabello reviews the economic and business news in his radio show “Andalucia Capital” in Onda Cero Andalucia radio station. On Tuesday June 25 we had the honour of being invited to this program, where Antonio Calo, CEO of TSO (The South Oracle), explained the favourable situation of solar self-consumption in Spain after being approved the Spanish Royal Decree Law 244/2019 and announced the innovative projects that we are developing in the United Arab Emirates and in our country.

The South Oracle (TSO) is once again a pioneer in promoting self-consumption with solar energy through PPA in Spain. Despensa San Nicolas, a company from Jaen, has relied on TSO’s experience to become the first company to sign a solar PPA in the organic food sector in Spain to produce its organic eggs, characterised by their excellent quality and high nutritional value.
This company, which specialises in organic products, will install TSO’s ultralight flexible panel on the roof of its 700 m2 poultry farm. The installation will have a 10.40 kW power capacity, covering the 100% of its daytime electricity consumption. Thanks to the photovoltaic plant that will cover the roof of the organic egg farm, Despensa San Nicolas will stop emitting circa 145,000 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere within the warranty period of the plant, reducing its carbon footprint by approximately 10,000 trees.
The photovoltaic solar plant allows Despensa San Nicolas to complete its sustainable policy, which is a step forward in the environmental balance of the farm, where the birds are raised in open space conditions within an organic olive grove.
In order to testify its commitment to environmental sustainability and energy efficiency, Despensa San Nicolas will be awarded with the ECO20® seal, the only one to guarantee a 100% production with energy from the sun, which is certified by ECA Bureau Veritas.
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.
Last October 30th, TSO, The South Oracle participated in the Agro-industry efficiency seminar, held at CADE Las Cabezas de San Juan (Seville). The event was organized by Andalucía Emprende, Junta de Andalucía foundation, and has for objective raising awareness among businessmen as the urgency of taking actions for energy efficiency to meet required CO2 emissions reduction.
As, last may, in similar previous event in Estepa (Seville), TSO has newly participated in this seminar with a presentation of the energy services contracts added value by its CEO, Antonio Calo, who spoke about the existing models, defined the guaranteed savings, and their set up. Next, the CEO of TSO kept talking about the advantages for companies to take actions for energy efficiency and explained ECO20 certification seal. This quality certificate differentiates those companies powered by solar energy, making them relevant from their competitors.

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).
