The dramatic increase solar energy in Galicia not get rid of the last places in the communities that use this alternative energy. The panel surface has tripled in the last three years and has grown from 3,600 square meters in 2002 to more than ten thousand who are estimated in 2004. For 2010 it is expected that there are at least fifty thousand square meters of thermal panels.
The increased usage during the past year was the highest in northern Spain on a gross basis under similar to Cantabria and Asturias and the Basque Country, according to the Institute of Galicia Enerxético, undeniable. domestic consumption and reduced services to get more than half. But for now, use in buildings is counted on the fingers of one hand. The lack of developers and home buyers saving measures and efficiency of the solar alternative is one of the cases in which the undeniable underlying the poor implementation in buildings.
In total, there in the community an average of five hundred solar systems, of which approximately 80% are houses, especially houses.

In the reluctance expressed by some builders, there are those who argue that concellos no legal authority to make such documents. Something you do not agree Councilman Electromechanical Vigo, Henrique Vieira, who recalls that concellos more than 50,000 have skills in the environment.
To promote the use of this type of energy in buildings, selflessness has developed a model ordinance which is currently distributed in the Galician town.
ordinance to establish mechanisms to promote aid or a bonus, although the approach may vary depending on the needs of each concello. At the same time, advise the municipal technicians, both in the actions included in the ordinance, as in the inspection and monitoring of buildings.

necessary response to increasing consumption
In his speech, the director of unselfishness, Xoán Caamaño, stressed that the development of renewable energy is a 'response' necessary to the 'dramatic pace' at which consumption grows electricity, which in the past ten years was 53.5% in the whole of Spain and of 46.3 only in the autonomous community of Galicia, breaking growth rates has long been considered 'normal'.
explained Caamaño that this increase has placed galloping energy sector in a 'moment of uncertainty', as still today 80% of global energy consumption, not just power, it depends on fossil fuels, mainly oil and coal. At this juncture
imposing a boost to renewable energy, but advances in research have not yet been able to result in storage systems-by batteries, for example, power generated, so that the system collection must be limited, for now, to be 'live'. In the near future energy can be stored and transported
The EU directives are to boost renewable energy in homes and aspire to in 2010 involving 12.5% \u200b\u200bof electricity consumption. For Spain, the target is 17.5%. In regards to Galicia, the forecasts for that year are 59%, a very high ceiling, but not difficult to achieve, considering that today already exceeds 20% and that the use of solar energy temperature increases to a very high rate.
In any case, he added Caamaño that the development of renewable energies is a must, as a response to growing demand and the increasing importance that charge policies environmental conservation and the socio element, being a source of new jobs interesting, especially in rural areas
