How Zaranova Solar structures its growth in residential self-consumption with archelios PRO
Installer
From Zaragoza, Zaranova Solar has built its trajectory on a solid foundation: field knowledge, proximity to the customer and a constant demand for efficiency. In a context of strong acceleration of photovoltaic self-consumption, the company has been able to rely on reliable tools to industrialize its studies and accompany its growth without losing agility. Among them, archelios PRO has become a key ally in everyday life.
A company born in the field, reaching new heights
Zaranova Solar is today a consolidated company in the photovoltaic solar energy sector in Spain. Based in Zaragoza, it has already carried out more than 900 installations, mainly in the field of residential self-consumption, with a high level of satisfaction and performance. But behind these figures there is, above all, a story of trade.
The company’s trajectory is closely linked to that of its founder, Sergio Casanova. An electrician by training, Sergio knows the sector from the inside, from daily practice and direct contact with the installations. A journey that, over time, led him to make the natural leap towards entrepreneurship.
And he adds something that defines Zaranova Solar’s DNA well: “I’m still here, with the same enthusiasm as at the beginning. Without stopping working for a single day, and climbing on the roof like any installer.”
That closeness to the field is not a discourse: it is a way of working that permeates the entire organization. At Zaranova Solar, technical knowledge does not stay in the office, and decisions are made with a very specific understanding of the realities of the work, the physical limitations of each roof and the real expectations of the end customer.
The challenge of growing without losing efficiency
The development of residential self-consumption in recent years has been an opportunity, but also a challenge. The volume of requests increases, response times are shortened, and customers expect clear, reliable, and fast quotes.
For a company like Zaranova Solar, this means structuring the study and design processes without sacrificing technical precision. Each project requires analysing the roof, orientations, shadows, estimated production and economic coherence of the installation. Doing it in an artisanal way quickly becomes unsustainable when the volume grows.
The digitalisation of the photovoltaic study does not appear here as an option, but as a necessary condition to maintain the quality of the service and operational viability.
The choice of archelios PRO: simplicity, reliability and practicality
It is in this context that Zaranova Solar incorporates archelios PRO into its daily operations. Currently, two people from the team actively use the software for the design and layout of photovoltaic systems.
The choice did not respond to a theoretical logic, but a very pragmatic one. “We opted for this program, first because it seemed simple and second because of the price,” Sergio explains frankly.And at the moment we have no complaints about either of the two things.”
In an industry where digital tools can be complex or oversized for certain uses, ease of use becomes a decisive criterion. archelios PRO allows Zaranova Solar to carry out fast, visual and technically sound studies, adapted to the type of projects they develop on a daily basis.
The software integrates naturally into the workflow : from the initial analysis of the cover to the generation of clear documentation for the customer. This not only saves time, but also provides security in decision-making, both internally and in front of the end customer.
Industrializing studies without losing technical rigor
One of the great benefits that Zaranova Solar finds in archelios PRO is the ability to maintain a high level of technical rigor, even when the volume of projects increases.
In residential self-consumption, each installation is different. Shadows from adjacent buildings, chimneys, antennas or trees can have a significant impact on production. Being able to simulate these conditions reliably is key to correctly sizing the installation and avoiding surprises later.
Thanks to archelios PRO, the team can quickly evaluate different configurations, justify their choices and present the customer with an understandable and transparent project. The result is twofold: on the one hand, there is a gain in internal efficiency; on the other, credibility with the customer is reinforced.
“Obviously, without a good application we would not have been able to carry out work or budgets at the pace we do,” insists Sergio. The tool does not replace field knowledge, but it amplifies and structures it.
Technical support as part of the experience
Beyond the functionalities of the software, there is one element that Zaranova Solar particularly values: the relationship with the Trace Software team and the quality of the technical support.
In an operating environment where deadlines are tight and every day counts, having reactive and competent support makes a real difference. It is not only about resolving incidents, but also about accompanying the user in their use of the software, helping them to get the most out of specific situations.
This relationship of trust reinforces the adoption of the tool and makes the software a true ally, not a simple product.
A tool at the service of a business vision
For Zaranova Solar, archelios PRO is not an end in itself, but a means at the service of a broader vision: to offer comprehensive self-consumption solutions, from sale to installation and maintenance, with a high level of professionalism.
The tool allows you to standardize certain processes without dehumanizing the relationship with the customer. On the contrary, it frees up time to focus on what really adds value: advice, installation quality and long-term follow-up.
The company’s growth has not been built on promises, but on concrete results and a solid methodology. On this path, the right technology plays a discreet but fundamental role.
Strong foundations for greater ambitions
With more than 900 installations completed, Zaranova Solar continues to look to the future with ambition, but also with its feet on the ground. The accumulated experience, combined with tools such as archelios PRO, allows them to face new projects with confidence and maintain a high level of technical demand.
“This is one more tool, as essential as any other,” sums up Sergio Casanova. A simple phrase that reflects the company’s philosophy well: to choose solutions that work, that accompany the real work and that help to build, project by project, a lasting relationship of trust with each client.
In a sector in full evolution, Zaranova Solar demonstrates that sustainable growth depends on the combination of trade, technology and solid relationships. And that, when these elements are aligned, efficiency is not at odds with proximity.
