This report delves into the policies, technological advances, and market forces shaping Spain’s rise as Europe’s second-largest solar market. It also highlights the challenges ahead, from grid integration to price stability.
Installation: Typically €1,000 to €3,000, based on complexity and location. Other Costs: Includes permits, inspections, and miscellaneous fees, which can add an additional €500 to €1,000. Investing in solar panels in Spain not only requires an upfront payment but also provides substantial savings over time.
This variability, combined with Spain’s excellent solar resources, make the economics of combining solar with storage increasingly favorable. The market for utility-scale batteries has been almost non-existent until recently as the market has lacked a clear policy and regulatory framework.
Spain’s battery storage market is dominated by customer-sited systems. Utility-scale storage remains nascent. Currently, Spain’s storage market is mainly composed of small-scale batteries co-located with solar PV. Spain’s household electricity prices now stand at over EUR 0.30/kWh on average.
By 2026, nearly 29.3 gigawatts will have been installed in Spain, making Spain the second country in Europe with the most solar power. Such an increase is not surprising, given the number of sunshine hours in this country and the various incentives that have been implemented to facilitate the energy transition in homes and businesses.
