Don't even bother to ask them for solar panels!
You are both getting me both very excited about moving out to Spain. I have to arrange for both water and electrical connections, just cannot wait!

I spoke too soon. Just had an email from our solicitor to say we cannot have water connected until the house sale goes through . The with galasa, it takes at least 15 days from the day of completion. Therefore we may be without water and possibly electric for 3-4 weeks !!
We need a bill to get our Padron too and to o Aton out TIE we need the Padron and have to get the TIE within 30 days of arriving ? How’s that work ??

Welcome to Spain
How has this post morphed from non lucrative visa, to U.K. driving licences and on to electrics in new homes?

Ahhh yes … welcome to Spain Andy. Don’t stress too much - you only have to have commenced TIE application within 30 days, not completed it, so as long as your representative has presented initial documents online, you’ve complied with that requirement.
Quite often they will say that it takes “15 days” but that’s a cover yer bum type of clause. For example, I contracted Digi for internet and they said “within 15 days you’ll be connected”, but the day after I signed the contract, Telefonica arrived to run the external fibre optic, and the day after that Digi techs arrived to do internal installation and plug in the router. Now running a 1 GB/s connection for 30€ per month. Thank you Digi.
Managed to get hold of someone at Iberdrola earlier, but I have to ring back later because their system is having “challenges” …….

Possibly because arriving in Spain and getting electricity, water, internet, TIEs and driving licences is the next step after NLV granted?
