Solar farms in Spain: an investment opportunity

Number of solar farms in Spain.

By the end of 2022, Spain had more than 63,000 photovoltaic installations, of which 54,000 were solar farms. This represents an increase of 40% compared to 2021, making Spain one of the fastest growing countries in the solar PV sector.

Increase of solar farms in Spain.

The number of solar farms in Spain has grown exponentially in recent years. In 2019, there were just 18,000 such installations, which means that in four years it has more than tripled. This growth is due to several factors, including:

  • Increasing demand for solar power, driven by climate change and the need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
  • The falling costs of solar energy, which have made it a more competitive option.
  • Public policy support, which has boosted investment in solar energy.

What are the areas in Spain where most solar energy is generated?

The areas of Spain with the greatest potential for solar power generation are those with the most hours of sunshine per year. These areas are mainly located in the south and southeast of the country, such as Andalusia, Extremadura, Murcia and Valencia.

Is it more cost-effective to buy a solar farm or to build one?

The profitability of a solar farm depends on several factors, such as location, size, technology used, construction and maintenance costs. In general, buying a solar farm is more cost-effective than building one, as it avoids the cost of buying land and building the installations.
