The rise in electricity prices has triggered interest in photovoltaic self-consumption, which has been proven to be the best option to avoid high energy costs. In this episode of La Pla\u00e7a, we discuss the increase in demand for solar panels with Ra\u00fal Rodr\u00edguez, Managing Director of the Federation of Installers’ Guilds of Catalonia (FEGICAT).<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The growing trend of individuals and businesses generating their own electricity using solar panels has led to <\/span>a doubling of installed capacity in the last 12 months<\/b>. This increase in demand has been driven mainly by two factors: on the one hand, the falling costs of photovoltaic technologies and, on the other hand, inflation, which has particularly affected energy prices.<\/span><\/p>\n

The high interest in installing solar panels, reducing reliance on the traditional electricity supply system, has meant that businesses in the sector are unable to cope with the increased demand. The lack of qualified personnel aggravates the situation, as Rodr\u00edguez explains, “the sector is in a position to incorporate, immediately, 18,000 workers”.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
