Photovoltaic power plants.

Most of the solar pannels installed on the roofs of the houses and buildings are not photovoltaic; they are thermal pannels and they are used to heat water. They are relatively reasonable.

Photovoltaic solar pannels are expensive and their efficiency is not very high. This is why their installation in individual homes are currently limited.

The contribution of the photovoltaic solar energy to the total generation of electricity in Spain is currently very little.
