In case you missed the recent article from the team on the potential for sustainable energy and a growing market in Spain, feel free to check it out here -

...And feel free to share your thoughts/opinions on this.

Energy resource availability itself is not always the determining factor.
The future for Spains solar market looks much brighter.
Already in 2017 newly installed solar power has reached 135 MW, compared to last year thats a whooping 145% increase. While most of that capacity came from self-consumption and off-grid projects, large solar parks are also catching up. In an auction held in July of 2017, the Spanish government allocated a total of 3.9 GW of solar power, all of which is set to go online by the end of 2019. Spain is certainly on the right track to become the leading solar energy market in Europe.
This is really a country with good potential and prospects in the development of solar energy, so I wish the project success in the development of this market.

Absolutely, Spain always has been the solar capital of Europe and it only makes sense that we start using it to generate some electricity. I'm surprised at how low those numbers are, given that WePower already has 300MW of production ready to auction with more to come later this year.

Yes, I was also a bit surprised at such a low figure for a country with such a great potential, but I think with time these capacities will increase, including thanks to companies like this, I hope so, because in our time, when the consumption of electricity constantly grows, then alternative ways of extracting it are very necessary.

Until recently Spain had a 'solar tax' which hindered investment in solar plants! You might find the recent summary published on the Spanish market:https://medium.com/wepower/spains-solar-market-potential-9c0eef9ed6e3
