Abora Solar, a Spanish company established in Zaragoza, specializes in the development and manufacturing of hybrid solar panels. The company was founded in 2017 by Dr. Alejandro del Amo, who serves as the CEO. Dr. del Amo holds a PhD in renewable energies and energy efficiency, and his doctoral thesis on hybrid solar technology laid the groundwork for the company’s core product. His background in research at the University of Zaragoza, focusing on the development of these advanced solar collectors, directly translated into the commercial venture of Abora Solar.
The core of Abora Solar’s B2B is its patented aHTech® technology, which distinguishes its hybrid solar panels. These panels generate both electricity and hot water simultaneously from a single unit, addressing two significant energy demands. This dual-generation capability is designed to maximize the energy output per square meter, making it a compelling solution for installations with limited roof space. The panels feature high-density insulation to minimize heat loss, which in turn improves the efficiency of thermal generation without compromising photovoltaic performance.
The company claims its panels can achieve a total efficiency of 89%, with 19% attributed to electrical and 70% to thermal generation. Abora Solar’s B2B model revolves around the sale of these high-efficiency panels and providing related engineering services. They serve a diverse client base that includes the industrial sector, hotels, sports centers, and residential buildings—essentially any entity with high hot water and electricity consumption. The company operates primarily in the renewable energy market, offering solutions that aim to significantly reduce clients’ energy bills and carbon footprint, with reported energy savings of up to 70%.
Revenue is generated directly from the sale of the panels and the associated technical consulting for installation projects. Keywords: hybrid solar panels, solar thermal, photovoltaic, renewable energy, energy efficiency, aHTech, cleantech, Zaragoza, Alejandro del Amo, dual generation
