Photovoltaic rooftops could supply over one third of Vitoria Gasteiz energy needs

The collapse of prices during solar hours has put in check the financial viability of many photovoltaic projects. Cannibalization of prices, the fall in the price captured, the difficulties in closing PPP under favourable conditions and the need for structural solutions such as energy storage draw a new paradigm for renewable development. Adapting to the new context is no longer an option, but a condition for further progress. Over the last few …

Photovoltaic rooftops could supply over one third of Vitoria Gasteiz energy needs

Madrid, Spain (SPX) Apr 30, 2025 In a new study by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), researchers found that rooftop solar installations in Vitoria-Gasteiz could supply up to 38% of the city's annual electricity consumption. The analysis highlights rooftop photovoltaic systems as a key renewable energy strategy for urban decarbonization, especially where land availability is limited. The research assessed the
