What SolBrick does
SolBrick is a Spanish solar photovoltaic installation company headquartered in Madrid, founded in 2009, that designs and installs turnkey self-consumption solar systems for individual homeowners, small and medium-sized businesses (PYMEs), and residential communities across all 17 autonomous communities of Spain. The company's product portfolio is anchored on two commercial models: 'Compra' (outright purchase, starting from €3,100 with installation) and 'Alquiler' (rental at €35/month on 10, 15, or 20-year terms with no upfront cost and maintenance included). These are supplemented by lithium-ion battery storage modules from LG Chem, BYD, SolarEdge, Pylontech, and Huawei, a proprietary SBMS battery management system, EV charging point installations, a proprietary web/app monitoring platform, and a virtual battery service that allows customers to monetize surpluses across properties through partnerships with Endesa, Naturgy, Iberdrola, and Holaluz.
SolBrick's business model combines one-time installation revenue (4-16 panel systems typically priced €3,034-€7,800) with recurring subscription revenue from its rental product and a professional services line for subsidy/grant processing, including Next Generation EU funds and regional IBI/ICIO tax bonuses. The company uses a sales-led go-to-market motion layered with a product-led self-service roof solar calculator and proposal simulation tool, acquiring customers through organic SEO, content marketing, and direct contact. Allied hardware partnerships with Risen Energy and Trina Solar for 500W high-efficiency panels round out the supply chain. The firm is privately held, has 11-50 employees, and discloses no funding, revenue, or institutional investors.

SolBrick competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Ecooo: Spanish solar cooperative focused on self-consumption and community energy projects. Targets an overlapping residential and SME customer base in Spain with a cooperative ownership model and community solar offerings comparable to SolBrick's residential community segment.
- Holaluz: Barcelona-based residential solar and virtual battery company operating across Spain with a similar product-plus-service model. Holaluz is both a direct competitor for residential solar customers and a channel partner that routes installation work to SolBrick, making it the closest comparable in the Spanish market.
- Sunrun: US-listed residential solar company that pioneered the solar lease/PPA business model in the United States. Sunrun is the closest international analogue to SolBrick's Alquiler rental model and provides a template for how recurring-revenue residential solar economics scale.
- Solar360: Joint venture between Repsol and Telefónica that installs residential and SME solar across Spain, often bundled with telecom and energy services. Competes for the same rooftop solar customer as SolBrick with substantially larger marketing budgets and corporate backing.
Broad incumbents
- SunPower: Global residential and commercial solar installer and panel manufacturer. While not active in Spain, SunPower is comparable in product breadth (panels, batteries, monitoring) and is a reference point for solar installer unit economics and panel supply economics relevant to SolBrick.
- Naturgy: Spanish gas and electricity utility operating the 'Smart Solar' residential solar and virtual battery program, with SolBrick as an installation partner. Naturgy competes broadly in the same Spanish residential self-consumption market with integrated energy supply offerings.
- Iberdrola: Spain's largest utility operator of 'Smart Solar Iberdrola' virtual battery residential solar program. Iberdrola is both a SolBrick channel partner and a broad incumbent that bundles solar installation with retail electricity supply, competing across the same customer.
- Endesa: Major Spanish utility running the 'Endesa Solar' virtual battery program, with SolBrick as an installation partner. Endesa also offers its own residential solar installation services, making it a broad incumbent competitor across the same Spanish residential market.
Regional players
- EDP: Portuguese utility with growing residential solar and self-consumption operations across Iberia. EDP serves an adjacent Iberian market and represents a potential geographic expansion peer or competitor if SolBrick moves beyond Spain.
- Solarwatt: German residential solar installer and battery integrator with a similar product portfolio (panels, batteries, EV charging, monitoring). Comparable as a European regional installer with multi-vendor battery partnerships and a focus on residential self-consumption.
