The photovoltaic paradox: the one that generates the least income but lowers the electricity bill in Spain the most
Renewables reduce the price of energy and this necessarily has a positive effect on consumers’ pockets. In this sense, the more clean sources in the generation mix, the lower the price of electricity will be. This is good for households and businesses, but it brings with it a problem for project developers, especially for solar … Continue reading The photovoltaic paradox: the one that generates the least income but lowers the electricity bill in Spain the most
