Residential solar panel installations in Spain have surged in the last two years. in 2022, more than 200,000 households installed 2.5 gigawatts (GW) of self-consumption, twice as many as in 2021.1 In the last two years, Spain has seen a surge in residential solar panel installations, with a total of 1.5 GW of self-consumption. Most of these are single-family homes, as residential installations are more complex. However, new solutions adapted to balconies are emerging, such as panels or photovoltaic railings tailored to smaller spaces.
Housing in Spain is dominated by multi-family buildings (70%) and single-family homes (30%). As a result, most people in Spain live in apartments and cannot install their own PV installations. However, more and more self-consumption solutions that can be installed on balconies or terraces of high-rise buildings are emerging.
Since the end of the pandemic, interest in self-consumption and self-production of energy has continued to grow, mainly due to the end of the so-called solar tax, high energy prices due to the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, and a greater awareness of the climate challenge.
Among these renewable energy sources, photovoltaic technology is one of the most developed on the market, not only in terms of efficiency but also in terms of increasing economy. With the long hours of sunshine in Spain, the use of solar power has become a “must”.
