How Acoeman accelerates its photovoltaics projects with archelios PRO
Installer
From automation to solar self-consumption
From its beginnings as a family business to its consolidation as a key player in the electro-industrial sector, ACOEMAN has consistently evolved alongside the market. Its latest leap forward: adopting archelios PRO and SketchUp to tackle complex photovoltaic projects with agility.
Based in Albacete and specialized in electricity, automation, and energy solutions, ELECTROMONTAJES ACOEMAN S.L. has come a long way since its modest start in 2002. Founded by three electrician brothers, the company has progressively diversified its activities, establishing itself today as a benchmark in industrial, agricultural, and renewable energy installations.
This strategic shift has opened new opportunities, particularly in the field of industrial self-consumption.
A technical challenge: optimizing self-consumption in industrial environments
One of the most representative projects of this new phase took place in 2022–2023, with the installation of a photovoltaic plant for a chemical company in Albacete. The system, designed for self-consumption without grid injection, pursued a dual objective: energy savings and economic profitability for the client. The project’s complexity lay in the morphology of the available rooftops: varying slopes and multiple configuration options. “We had to quickly assess which surfaces were most suitable to achieve the best possible performance without compromising the client’s goals,” explains Ana Gloria.Design faster, decide better: The value of archelios PRO
This is where archelios PRO came into play: combined with SketchUp, it became a key ally for ACOEMAN’s team.
Thanks to this agility, ACOEMAN can generate over 20 design proposals in record time, of which only the most relevant are implemented. This flexible approach allows them to adapt to the client’s needs and site conditions without wasting time on repetitive processes.
Beyond Design: Integrated Simulation, Calculation, and Presentation
One of the greatest advantages of using SketchUp together with archelios PRO is the ability to seamlessly transform 3D models into complete energy analyses, delivering both graphical and numerical results ready for client presentations.
“The interoperability between the two software solutions is excellent. You move from drawing to profitability studies in just minutes,” highlights Ana Gloria.
This efficient workflow not only optimizes study time but also improves communication with the end client. Clear visualizations and simplified layouts facilitate decision-making, strengthening confidence and transparency throughout the process.
Tangible results and a forward-looking vision
Beyond the time savings, the accuracy of the calculations and the quality of the presentations enabled the project to be delivered on schedule, without setbacks.
But beyond this single case, the experience reinforced a conviction within ACOEMAN’s technical team: archelios PRO allows them to take on large-scale projects that would otherwise be difficult to manage with such efficiency.
Currently, the company is closely following upcoming updates to archelios PRO, particularly regarding battery integration, a feature increasingly demanded by the market.
A winning combination for the Energy Sector
When asked whether they would recommend this combination of tools, the answer is clear:
“Yes, absolutely. It’s precise, easy to use, and extremely useful for presenting projects professionally.”
In a sector where response time and technical reliability are crucial, having tools that facilitate both design and client communication makes all the difference.
ACOEMAN knows this well: their commitment to digital innovation has not only increased efficiency but also strengthened their position as a trusted technical partner in the renewable energy sector.
