Power cuts and Solar Power - It is often assumed that if you have Solar Panels and there is a power cut that, assuming the sun is shining, you will have power. This is not necessarily the case. Most systems will shut down immediately the grid power is lost. This is a safety feature to make sure that there is no possibility of power being pushed into the grid from a Solar PV system if it is being worked on. There is, however, a solution that will work in the event of a power cut but it has to be designed to work in that way to provide a back-up system.

Electricity costs go down but down prices up?

Spanish electricity bills are set to rise in 2024 and it´s all because of a reduction in cost to the suppliers. eh? The cost of electricity in Spain is going down – but your bill is going to go up. As of 1st March 2024 IVA relief is being removed from electricity bills as wholesale costs fall. Happy days for the big companies not so great for consumers.

Do Solar Panels reduce your CO2 emissions?
The short answer is yes but here´s some interesting approximations
• In 2022 electricity generation in Spain produced 217.37g of CO2 per kWh (statista.com)
• That means a 5kW Solar Panel system in Spain will save 1.7 tonnes in CO2 emissions (assuming it´s correctly designed)*
• That´s equal to 10,000 car km (170g/km petrol car)**
• Or around 11,300 km in an aircraft (150g/km short haul flight)**
• An average Solar Panel will repay it´s carbon “debt” from manufacture in around 1.5 years
• A good Solar Panel will work for over 25 years

A whopper of a deal

Burger King have entered into what is called a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) with Iberdrola to give them fixed price renewable energy for 750 restaurants. The electricity will come from one of Iberdrola´s Solar PV plants.

That´s great for Burger King and great for the Planet.
Now, why should you be thinking about this? Almost certainly you don´t have an electricity bill for 750 restaurants to negotiate with. Well, the same principle applies to you home if you decide to install Solar Panels.

Done properly, a Solar PV system will provide you with many thousands of kWh at a fixed cost that´s better than what you pay now. That cost remains the same throughout the life of your system – no price inflation.

A properly designed system in Spain will return your investment in 4 years, or less, and work for at least another 20.

So if you use electricity, have somewhere you can install them and have some spare cash installing Solar Panels should be an obvious thing to do.

The guys at Burger King think so.
