Why Choose Renewable Energy in Spain
A renewable energy is one that is replaced faster than it is consumed. Unlike fossil carbon-based fuels that have a limited supply.
A good way of looking at this is to consider that humans have been around on our planet for around 200,000 years and, since the industrial revolution (200 years ago), have significantly increased our use of fossil fuels (initially coal and then oil and eventually natural gas). Now, coal, oil and natural gas don´t replace as fast as we use them, in fact, according to OU (Open University) data, we use them 2,000 times faster than they replace! That means that they will eventually run out – but when? Well using data from MAHB (Millenium Alliance for Humanity and Biosphere 2024) the figures are – Coal 66 years, Gas 36 years and Oil 28 years that means us humans need a plan B if we´re not going to be a little uncomfortable. Fortunately renewables are emerging as a viable energy source and electricity generated from Solar Panels is clean and plentiful. To add a little context, the current thinking is that the Sun has about another 5 billion years to burn giving us plenty of time to come up with another idea.
Why Choose Solar?
No CO2 Emissions
A 5kW system saves almost 2 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
Pay back in less than 5 years
Substantial electricity cost savings, falling installation prices, and attractive government incentives.
Security of Supply
Generating power locally, reducing dependence on external energy sources and mitigating risks of grid disruptions.
How does it work?
A solar panel generates electricity by using light to energise electrons. Some electrons are sitting around in a solar panel not doing much at all. Then a light particle, (photon), bumps into the electrons and gets them all excited. The excited electrons “jump” from one layer of the solar panel to the other and, thus, create an electric current.
So, to be clear, it´s got nothing to do with heat from the Sun, only light. The brighter the light the more electricity flows. In Spain, on the South coast we get around 320 sunny days every year.
Solar Panels can be used to power your home as long as there is sunlight (even on cloudy days). Any surplus that isn´t consumed is fed back into the electricity grid and your energy provider will give you a credit that can be offset for any electricity that you consume when your panels aren´t producing – i.e. when the sun goes down.
As well as this you might consider a battery that can be charged using your excess electricity and consumed later.

Homes with Solar Panels in Spain
300,000+
*As of 2023, it is estimated that around 300,000 households in Spain have installed solar panels. This number reflects a significant increase in residential solar adoption, driven by decreasing costs of solar technology, favorable government incentives, and a growing awareness of the benefits of renewable energy
