All with the sun!
Photovoltaic solar energy
Photovoltaic solar energy is a source of clean, inexhaustible, completely indigenous, sustainable, without any environmental impact and getting cheaper.
The sun’s rays reaching the Earth’s surface can satisfy more than 10,000 times the global energy consumption.
Photovoltaic systems generate electricity at times of increased consumption, which lowers the power supply.
Photovoltaic energy is essential for Spain to reduce its energy dependence (80%) and increase environmental sustainability.
PV bet now is to create employment in the present and future wealth.
Our country has unique geographical and atmospheric conditions for solar energy. To use our energy efficiency increases and better exploit our natural resources.
Spain is a world leader in solar photovoltaics. The booming sector has allowed the strengthening and consolidation in Spain of genuine solar photovoltaic industry committed, innovative and highly export, which is among the most advanced in the world.
The Spanish PV industry has invested over 23,000 million euros, generated nearly 100,000 jobs by 2008 and provides a 0.62% of Gross Domestic Product.
The photovoltaic industry is the most intensive between clean energy in the creation of jobs: 7 to 11 jobs per megawatt installed, compared to a peak of 2.7 jobs per megawatt in other sectors.
Because of its high technological component, PV has reduced costs by half in two years, could reduce another 12% more in 2010 and subsequent years remains the largest margin of all renewables cheaper. Renewable energy in general and PV in particular have not created the problem of tariff deficit Spanish electricity system, but may help to resolve decisively, to bring greater efficiency to the system.
In 2012, the solar photovoltaic industry will return to society of 8,200 million euros in social security contributions, corporate taxes and income, local taxes, saving fossil fuels and emission allowances. An amount higher than it receives.
