In 2009, Spain began to strictly control the scale of photovoltaic installations and drastically lower the on-grid electricity price, which caused a rapid decline in photovoltaics.However, since 2018, the Spanish government has abolished the "sun tax" for spontaneous and self-use distributed photovoltaic projects, and simplified the project application process, and the demand for photovoltaic installations has picked up.In that year, the Spanish self-contained projects installed 235.7MW, accounting for 90% of the total installed photovoltaic capacity of the year.
Spain promised that renewable energy will account for 20% of the total energy consumption by 2020, renewable energy will account for 42% of the final energy consumption by 2030, the installed capacity will reach 120GW, and renewable energy generation will account for 74% of the total electricity generation;% Of electricity generation, and close all coal-fired power plants by 2030, and shut down all nuclear power plants by 2035.
These policies promoted the outbreak of the Spanish photovoltaic market: in 2019, Spain added 4.7GW of photovoltaics, becoming the first in Europe.According to the photovoltaic installation target set by the Spanish government, it will be 8.4GW in 2020, 23.4GW in 2025, and 37GW in 2030.Such a goal is very challenging for Spain, which has a small territory.
