More economic self-sufficient in electricity by solar panels
Feb 7, 2009
For this mode of application of PV ( 'net savings' or' net metering 'in English) is possible in Spain, it is essential to eliminate administrative barriers to the penetration of technology in the domestic sphere, and that the fabric of the conservative investor confidence and has a market volume of 600 MW after September.
Photovoltaics will be profitable without aid at the time that consumers find it cheaper to buy panels, install and supply of electricity, to buy energy on the grid. That cutoff point between the price of photovoltaic kWh and kWh the electricity grid (known as' parity with the network 'or' grid parity 'in English) can be produced in Spain by 2015 in view of the rapidly descending the costs of solar systems faster than anticipated just a few months ago-and the dramatic rise of energy prices in general.
The scope of parity with the network brings many benefits, both for consumers who experience a significant savings to recoup the initial investment, and for energy dependence and the balance of payments of the country and significantly decreasing the volume of our imports of oil, and for the environment by emissions avoided, or the electrical system, since it will lower the intensity of the peak summer demand, which come into operation by avoiding the expensive and polluting technologies, and frighten away risk of blackouts. Additionally, the implementation of the "net savings"-one of the key elements of a sustainable energy model opens a huge market for photovoltaic systems.
