From energy consumer to energy prosumer: a sustainable project for Barcelona

Abstract

In a changing environment such as the current one, in which society is increasingly aware of the environment, while the fossil fuel energy market weakens, it is necessary to move towards an ecological transition in which solar energy plays a fundamental role. For this reason, in this study, not only a quantitative but also a qualitative analysis of the energy market and the installation of solar panels in Barcelona will be carried out - taking into account all its aspects: costs, public and private funding, taxation and subsidies, geographical location, among others - to be able to finally conclude that carrying out this type of project in Barcelona has notable advantages over carrying it out in other places.
