Photovoltaic solar energy for cities

Photovoltaic solar energy is a renewable energy that is obtained directly from sunlight through solar panels that convert this heat into electricity.  If we apply this energy in the context of smart cities, photovoltaic self-supply can enable these cities to achieve significant savings in their total energy consumption.   The law now offers greater support by eliminating the sun tax and simplifying the administrative and technical barriers.  This means that there is no reason not to generate sustainable energy.

By adopting solar self-consumption we will reduce our cities’ carbon footprint and help to achieve the sustainability targets. But that is not all, because the installation of photovoltaic solar panels are a guaranteed bonus, as they increase the value of properties and buildings that have them. It is a simple and effective way to keep our cities at the forefront of energy efficiency.

How does it work?

At Endesa, we know that each sector has different needs and requirements, which is why we have focused our attention on offering personalised answers and solutions, customising them to adapt to the demands of each one:

•  Industrial Sector  

It can switch current electricity consumption to clean and renewable energy, saving money from day one and making companies more competitive.

• Agricultural Sector 

You can reduce your energy bills by generating your own electricity in your installations, and avoid CO2 emissions to become more competitive. 

• Services Sector

Reduce your costs from the start by generating your own energy in your installations. Control, monitor, and manage your daily expenditure easily with clean energy. 

Benefits of urban self-consumption

The benefits of adopting solar self-consumption are ample and advantageous for everyone, for business sectors, consumers and the general public.

Lower costs

One of the main benefits is the reduction of your city’s energy costs and freedom from market volatility, which makes everyone better off. What is more, providing the population with renewable energy means that all consumers will benefit. 

High profitability

Although it may seem like a costly investment, the profitability that a self-consumption installation provides makes it great value for money. What is more, buildings with photovoltaic panels demand higher prices on the property market.

Greater sustainability

Even so, the most significant benefit that this type of renewable energy offers is the reduction in the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions.  It offers us a brighter future for the energy sector.
