One platform, five revenue streams.
An architectural product, an infrastructure layer, and a brand — operating across a single Mediterranean territory.
What the platform is
Las Lluvias is a venture headquartered in Ibiza, operating across a single Mediterranean island with deliberate single-territory depth. The platform converts the photovoltaic roof of a luxury estate into dual infrastructure — solar electricity and EU-compliant potable rainwater from one architectural surface — and monetises that infrastructure across five distinct revenue streams. The hardware is one of the five, not the centre of gravity. Each stream stands on its own unit economics; together they compound. The thesis: a single installation that yields recurring origination, servicing, telemetry, brand, and licensing income — anchored to a permanent, certified, physical asset on the roof.
Five revenue streams
Each stream is independently financeable and independently defensible. Hardware is the entry point; the recurring layers carry the long-duration value.
Two parallel layers operate over the same asset
Las Lluvias operates a deliberate dual structure. The first layer is commercial: Las Lluvias the System at estate scale, paired with Las Lluvias the Water as its branded output. This is the platform that returns capital — direct relationships with private owners, family offices, and developers, monetised across the five streams above.
The second layer is public-infrastructure: the same underlying technology — distributed rainwater capture at certified potable grade — has institutional applications at the level of municipal network integration, aquifer recharge contribution, and drought-emergency capacity. This is the layer that gives the platform legitimacy beyond the luxury market and creates the regulatory tailwind that protects the commercial layer.
Active institutional dialogue is anchored to three counterparties operating in Balearic water: ABAQUA (the Balearic public water agency), Aqualia (the operator of the Ibiza concession), and Alianza por el Agua Ibiza y Formentera (the island-level water-stress coalition). Engagement is institutional, conducted in Spanish, on the public-infrastructure frame — not on the commercial brand. The two layers reinforce each other; they do not compete for the same conversation.
Anchor unit economics
The platform's canonical reference case is an 800 m² roof at the Sabina / Pawson scale — combined system cost €167K, annual saving €12–18K, three-to-five-year payback. The numbers below scale that reference to the typical Ibiza luxury estate at roughly half the roof area. They are the anchor for owner conversations; property-specific numbers are produced at proposal stage.
The hardware unit economics carry the asset; the recurring streams — financing servicing, telemetry subscription, bottled-water margin, IP licensing — compound on top. None of the five streams is invented to make the model work. Each one already has a counterparty asking for it.
Pilot programme
Year One is Ibiza only. The programme targets three installations on the island, selected for roof geometry, owner profile, and certification path. The discipline is deliberate: a small number of full-depth installations, each one fully instrumented, each one producing a clean EU DWD certification record and a clean telemetry history. The point of Year One is not to scale; it is to produce the certified evidence base that every subsequent installation, every financing facility, and every IP licence is underwritten against.
Site selection criteria, certification milestones, and the supporting subsidy stack (IDAE NextGen on the solar layer, with the water layer bolting on at incremental cost) are detailed in the institutional memorandum. Pilot sites are not named publicly until installation contracts are signed.
Why Ibiza first
Single-island operational discipline is a strategic choice, not a limitation. Ibiza is small enough to be operationally legible — the same network of installers, certifiers, water laboratories, municipal contacts and architectural firms is reachable across the entire territory.
The certifications path — EU DWD compliance, BREEAM and Passivhaus integration, IDAE subsidy registration, municipal water-network coordination — is proven once locally before any expansion. Greece, Cyprus, Sardinia and the Côte d'Azur are research-stage territories only; Las Lluvias does not claim local advantage there. Expansion happens after the Ibiza certification record is complete, not before.
