Solar energy

In 2003, the UAB commissioned the first solar photovoltaic installation on the Campus, situated on the roofs of the buildings in Plaça Cívica, with a capacity of 50.5 kWp. This installation operates under a model whereby the energy produced is sold to the electricity grid.

Since 2022, the UAB has once again been promoting the roll-out of solar photovoltaic generation on campus, with the installation of new systems in various buildings. This roll-out has enabled a gradual increase in installed capacity and renewable energy production. The new photovoltaic systems in various buildings on campus operate on a self-consumption basis, meaning that the energy generated is used to power the buildings themselves.
