Barcelona installs Spain’s first solar energy pavement

Photovoltaic ground installation part of move to increase capacity close to where it's most needed, in cities

Barcelona city council has installed Spain's first photovoltaic pavement as part of the city's drive to become carbon neutral by 2050.

The 50 sq metres of non-slip solar panels, installed in a small park in the Glories area of the city, will generate 7,560kW a year, enough to supply three households.
