PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR ENERGY IN SPAIN; From plundering to Democratization The history of solar energy, especially photovoltaics, has been very peculiar in Spain. It all started in 2004 when a Royal Decree initiated the connection of small installations to the network. Attracted by a reasonable return on investment, small installations began to connect to the Spanish […]
The low price of solar panels in Spain
The price of a solar panel (named commonly) just about 5 years ago was about 1,000 €, today, we find these photovoltaic modules tienda-solar.es for less than 200 €, which means about 80% lowering the price of solar panel in less than 5 years. This fall in prices on solar panels is widespread in almost […]
Photovoltaic and Sustainable Energy consumption
When we speak of photovoltaic consumption we refer to a recent and important step towards a new energy model. In Tienda-solar, conscious by saving energy, we have always been committed to new energy models, so we propose a catalog of products related to renewable energy, which in turn represent a change in the way it […]
What is a solar inverter?
The solar inverter is responsible for transforming the direct current from the solar panels into alternating current for household use. These devices can be connected directly to the grid of housing. When a solar panel is connected to the solar inverter, home power meter will reduce the speed or rotate counterclockwise. Solar inverters use several solar […]
How to buy solar panels for remote installations
If you want to know how to buy solar panels for remote installations, you can find the full version in our section guides. First, to not get into questions, clarify what a grid system: It is an electrical installation (which is wired and can plug loads) but has no access to the conventional electricity grid. […]
The grid parity has come for photovoltaics
The costs of producing electricity using photovoltaic technology have been reduced by 80% in recent years. “In four or five years could enter the grid 30,000 megawatts at spot price if they received the approval of the operator Red Electrica” says the Director of Photovoltaic Association, Mr. Jose Donoso. By now, more than twenty German […]

Solar energy: a clean and renewable energy
Which means that energy is renewable? Although it is a well-known concept, we want to influence the definition of this term and take this opportunity to praise the qualities of solar energy. Renewable energy comes from natural energy sources that are not depleted and are regenerable. Renewables are solar energy, wind energy, geothermal, hydroelectric, tidal, […]
Google is betting on solar energy
While Spanish politicians have been trying to put sticks to the wheels representing the future investment in renewable energy and more particularly in solar, large economic giants like Google are betting the maximum renewable energy. Most recently, Google announced that it will expand its solar power plants, adding six additional plants that have a budget […]
