How to keep your home in Spain powered during a blackout using solar energy
Why suffer power outages when the sun is shining for free? Take control of your energy with solar power to become self-sufficient in your home and stop relying on the national grid
In a country like Spain, where sunshine is abundant nearly all year round, it makes perfect sense to harness solar energy for your home, and many people already do.
But, as we have seen from recent events, power outages can happen unexpectedly, and even solar energy systems are not exempt from the effects of a blackout... unless you have the right solar setup to be energy independent.
Many people are surprised to learn that most solar systems shut down during a blackout. This is a built-in safety feature to protect grid workers who may be carrying out repairs at the time.
However, by installing a battery backup system, your solar panels can continue to supply your home with power, keeping essential appliances running even when the national grid fails.
A well-designed solar system doesn’t just work during the day; it can support you round the clock. Solar panels simultaneously power your home and charge the batteries during daylight hours. At night, or during an outage, the stored energy can be used to keep your home functioning as normal. With careful planning and professional system design, it is entirely possible, despite what you may think, to live 100% off solar energy.
Expert design is key. The size of your solar array and the capacity of your batteries must match your household’s energy demand. Lithium batteries are always recommended as they’re compact, maintenance-free and offer high energy storage capacity compared to older battery types.
These new lithium-type batteries, combined with a sufficient number of high-quality solar panels, allow for seamless, reliable energy use day and night.
Beyond energy independence, going solar also significantly lowers your carbon footprint. By switching to renewable energy, you reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future. And, of course, your electricity bills shrink dramatically.
