More and more roofs in Spain are sporting solar panels . Word of mouth works, you ask how much the savings are, what the investment is, then you look at the last electricity bill and it is clear that something needs to change. And it is done. The strange neighbor is no longer the one who puts them up, but the one who doesn't. The figures prove it: according to the report Solar energy: safe bet for economic recovery , prepared by the Spanish Photovoltaic Union (UNEF), in 2021 renewables accounted for 81% of new global energy capacity . And photovoltaics was, once again, the most installed energy source (renewable and non-renewable). Self -consumption had a record year in Spain, power grew to 1,203 MWn, representing an increase of more than 100% compared to 2020, when it increased by 596 MWn. "Spain will be a leading renewable energy market in Europe" One of the companies contributing to this renewable boom is Sunhero, founded in May 2021 by Christopher Cederskog, who previously worked at Airbnb and Zalando , in addition to creating 6 other companies.
At the beginning of 2022, it raised €3.5 million from 2 funds (SpeedInvest and All Iron Ventures). The company's sales have skyrocketed nearly 200% since the start of summer, and in June, they installed as many solar panel systems as they had in the entire previous year. Its co-founder and CEO is really optimistic about the future in this sector. Speaking to Business Jamaica Mobile Number List Insider Spain , he assures that Spain can be a leading renewable energy market in Europe. "It has sun, a very prepared economy and good technicians," he says. For this reason, he predicts that the most important companies in southern Europe, northern Africa and Latin America will be based in Spain . The market is advancing little by little: there are no technicians or solar panels But it is not something that is going to happen immediately, Cederskog clarifies, since Spain cannot jump from 1% to 5% in a year, "there are not so many technicians or so many plates; that is why the market is slowly bit.
For this growth to occur in the field of renewable energy , workers are needed. And that is something in which Spain still shows many shortcomings. They corroborated this in the presentation of the UNEF report by stating that, currently, and especially in what has to do with self-consumption installers , "it is a job-demanding sector, in which companies cannot cope and are rapidly training to people or even bringing workers from outside because they can't find them here. How much does it cost to install solar panels for self-consumption? At Sunhero, with 70 employees, the lack of trained people is not yet a setback, but Cederskog emphasizes that it could become a problem in this country: "If the market wants to grow at 5%, it needs more technicians." What's more, he points out that it is a great job opportunity for young people : "The panels are not going to be placed in the center of Madrid or Barcelona, but in less developed areas, where many unemployed young people live.
