Save on energy bills with solar panels in Alicante, one of the sunniest places in Spain

Make the most of the Costa Blanca’s 3,397 hours of sunlight each year with photovoltaic solutions from Ecosolarspain

With more than 300 days of sunshine a year, Spain has positioned itself as one of the sunniest countries in Europe, and these privileged conditions make solar panels a financially sound choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint along with their energy costs.

Generally speaking, municipalities located in the south of Spain, such as the Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol, receive more daily hours of sunlight that northern regions, but whatever the location, great returns can be made on a solar investment in all parts of the country.

While Spain boasts an average of 2,500 sunny hours per year, Huelva in Andalucia soars past this number with an incredible 3,500 hours. In contrast, Bilbao to the north is one of the dullest areas, with just 1,694 per annum.

In this rating, Alicante has established itself as not only one of the sunniest regions in Spain, but indeed in all of Europe, basking in a toasty 3,397 hours of sunshine each year. Locally based Ecosolarspain offers a wide range of photovoltaic services including the installation of solar panels and the sale of associated green energy products in the province.

And with a record number of sunshine hours, savvy Alicante homeowners could see a return on their investment in just 5-7 years.

As an added bonus, most autonomous communities in Spain offer subsidies for self-consumption with the aim of covering a part of the investment and, in this way, reducing the economic recovery period.
