Spain is leading in solar panels

https://euroweeklynews.com/2025/01/23/spain-emerges-as-europes-solar-power-leader/

I remember reading about it a while ago about projects in the countryside

Probably more interesting to manage than every different building getting their solar panels

You can see a list of solar panels plants here

Also, Catalunya isn't the sunniest part of Spain

    Spain has the cheapest energy in Europe due to a heavy investment in renewables (they have a quarter of all Europe’s renewable capacity) + nuclear.

    So big upfront cost probably not as worthwhile.

    Possibly due to wind speeds and structural inadequacy.

    In Central Helsinki, Finland they had an idea to put solar panels on the roofs. They decided not to, because it "ruined the rooftop view". So, maybe something similar?
