The perfect storm

Why you shouldn’t wait any longer to get solar energy

As of March 2026, global events are once again pushing energy prices upward, and the effects are visible in our daily expenses. What looked like a period of stabilisation has reversed due to rising geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East. The result is clear: energy and living costs are climbing again.

Why everything is becoming more expensive

Several factors are reinforcing each other. The escalation of tensions around Iran has unsettled global markets, driving up energy prices.

Gas and electricity

European gas prices have risen in recent weeks. Because gas still largely determines electricity prices in Europe, this increase is directly reflected in power costs. Those with dynamic contracts are already seeing price spikes, while fixed contracts will soon adjust upward.

Oil and transport

Oil prices have also surged. Instability in the Persian Gulf raises insurance costs for tankers and creates fears of supply disruptions. This leads not only to higher fuel prices but also increases the cost of transporting goods, affecting nearly everything we buy.

Grid costs and taxes

In Spain and across Europe, billions are being invested to upgrade electricity grids, which will increase management costs in the coming years. Although the Spanish government has temporarily reduced taxes to ease the burden, this is only a short-term measure.

Why you must act NOW (and not after summer)

Waiting for prices to drop may seem logical, but historically, energy prices rise faster than they fall. Acting now on solar energy offers key advantages.

Panel prices are expected to rise

Due to global trade shifts and raw material shortages, solar panel prices could increase by 10–15%. Buying now allows you to benefit from current pricing.

Immediate cost control

Every kilowatt-hour you generate yourself avoids taxes, grid fees, and surcharges, helping stabilise your monthly expenses.

Avoid delays

When energy prices spike further, demand for solar systems will surge, increasing waiting times. Acting now ensures installation before peak pricing periods.

Batteries are becoming essential

In 2026, combining solar panels with a home battery is increasingly important. It allows you to store your own energy and avoid expensive peak rates, especially as compensation for feeding energy back into the grid continues to decline.

We cannot control global events, but we can control our energy choices. Investing in solar energy now reduces dependence on volatile markets and protects you from rising costs.
