Imagine a world where you don’t need to install solar panels on your own roof to benefit from clean, renewable energy. Thanks to Iberdrola’s Energy Communities in Spain, this is now a reality! Homeowners can enjoy affordable solar power from panels installed on nearby rooftops – with no upfront costs and no long-term commitments. Even if you live within 2 km of a solar-powered home, you can join the movement and become a solar neighbor.
But how does this innovative model work, and what are its benefits? Let’s explore how shared solar energy is transforming the way we power our homes.
Energy communities are a new approach to solar power, enabling households to access clean electricity without installing their own solar panels. Iberdrola’s initiative in Spain is a perfect example:
– Free solar panel installation on rooftops
– Homeowners get priority access to clean energy
– Nearby residents (within 2 km) can also subscribe and benefit
This means that even if you rent a home or have a shaded roof, you can still participate in the solar revolution!

By switching to shared solar, communities reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, significantly lowering carbon emissions. This supports global sustainability goals and helps combat climate change.
With no installation or maintenance costs, residents can access solar energy at a fraction of the price of traditional electricity, saving money each month.
Unlike conventional solar panel investments, shared solar programs provide flexibility. Residents can join or leave without worrying about contracts or upfront investments.
Even apartment dwellers and homes with unsuitable rooftops can now access renewable energy, making solar power more inclusive and accessible.
Iberdrola’s model in Spain could set a precedent for other countries, proving that clean energy can be shared, affordable, and widely available. As solar technology advances and governments push for greener solutions, we may see similar energy communities expanding across Europe and beyond.
The transition to shared, sustainable power is already happening – be part of it!
