@xerz@soc.masfloss.net @disorderlyf@todon.eu @bradr@infosec.exchange The infamous "sun tax" applied to residential PV only - and industrial PV farms were perfectly happy with it, as it meant less PV production from residential customers, thus higher demand and higher prices in peak PV production hours. The boom in PV is just business. Lower investment, lower TCO (compared to wind etc).
PV and wind installed power reached parity in 2024. Installed PV is growing at 25-30% annually, installed wind power is growing at 2-4%.

@mbpaz@mas.to @disorderlyf@todon.eu @bradr@infosec.exchange Okay I might not be reading well the old law, but I understood the old tax ("peaje") applied to everyone, and they were just specifiying "autoconsumo" even for those who are not connected to the grid the PV boom is net business indeed tho, I just understood that the Rajoy administration was hostile enough with the aforementioned tax (which killed the previous, Zapatero-era policy of solar panel roofs in new lots) that the numbers stopped making sense until it got all lifted
