After an exhaustive study, at Cover we have opted for the installation of solar panels and join the consumption of renewable energy.
Spain, one of the European countries with the most hours of sunshine
Spain is one of the European countries where we have more hours of sunshine, about 2,500 hours per year. This circumstance makes photovoltaic energy a safe investment, since we simply depend on a predictable and stable resource: the sun.
Of all the renewable energies, solar energy is the one that has grown the most in recent years in Spain.

Solar energy is obtained from the installation of photovoltaic panels. These panels are made up of a series of cells that contain silicon and that, when they come into contact with the photons of sunlight, begin to release electrons, generating a type of electricity called direct current.
Here the inverter comes into play, which is responsible for converting direct current into alternating current for domestic use.
These types of facilities, based on photovoltaic solar energy, are a great option to enjoy a free and ecological electricity supply.
According to data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (generating a type of electricity called direct current), in Spain it is the third source of renewable energy, after wind power and hydroelectric power, but it is the one that has experienced the highest growth rate in recent years.
In addition, Spain is in the top 10 countries with the most solar installations. According to data from the but it is the one that has experienced the highest growth rate in recent years, we have gone from 49 MW to 4,080 MW of photovoltaic generation in just 4 years, from 2015 to 2019.
Climate change is increasingly evident and we must find ways to stop it.
Depleting natural resources is a path that leads us nowhere, and society is increasingly aware of this. Now we still have time to take action, and for this reason, more and more companies are joining the challenge of sustainability, due to its more than obvious advantages, which are explained below, beyond the economic advantages...

and therefore more and more companies are joining the challenge of sustainability
Traditional electrical energy is obtained from the burning of fossil fuels or from nuclear reactions, generating a large amount of pollutants that are harmful to the environment, such as smog.
These types of processes are highly polluting, especially for the atmosphere, which contribute to global warming, the effects of which we are experiencing more and more directly.

The use of fossil fuels causes a large amount of gases to be released, dirtying and contaminating the air thousands of kilometers from power generation plants, causing long-term damage.
With the installation of solar panels we are helping to reduce the use of fossil fuels for the production of energy and therefore, to the reduction of global warming as well as to improve the quality of the air we breathe and therefore the health of people.

Currently the process of generating energy through the use of fossil fuels generates a huge amount of toxic waste that is thrown into landfills.
This causes a part of this waste to end up filtering into water tanks and the other part to go to waterways, contaminating water and soil.

This causes a part of this waste to end up filtering into water deposits and the other part to go into waterways.
The extraction of fossil fuels generates great water pollution, and is alarmingly affecting the biodiversity of rivers and seas.
As a consequence of the previous two, solar energy, by not requiring fossil resources, helps to reduce the destruction of ecosystems.
This is one of the most serious environmental problems today. If there is less demand for conventional electric power, over time the construction of nuclear plants and refineries will be reduced. These usually involve the felling of trees and the deforestation of large areas.
This is one of the most serious environmental problems today.
Finally, another of the benefits of photovoltaic solar energy for the environment is that the panels can be recycled. They are made of 90% recyclable materials, such as glass and aluminum which, when properly processed, can be reused for other uses.
like glass and aluminum
And it is that one of the advantages of installing solar panels and photovoltaic energy is that the latter is inexhaustible.
The study carried out by the installation company The study carried out by the installation company , estimates that, with the installation of the panels, Cover will prevent the felling of 198 trees per year, as well as the emission of 17,731 KgCO2/year.
and you? Do you join renewable energies?
