Iberdrola installs 80 kW PV system at Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

The 80 kW photovoltaic installation at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, which began in January, consists of 300 solar panels and will enable annual self-consumption of 80 MWh and a saving of around 5% in the museum’s electricity consumption, providing an average of 30% of the total electricity demand of the building — enough to cover the lighting needs of all the exhibition halls.

The solar panels have been installed on the two largest roofs of the building in such a way that they are not visible from the street and are integrated into its architecture. The modules used are from the Italian manufacturer FuturaSun, Jose Alonso, director of Sunfields, Spain’s official distributor of the brand, told pv magazine. The FU 360 M Silk Plus Silver 360 W model, according to the manufacturer, allows for maximum chromatic integration of the PV installation on the roof with light grey covers, but also with metal cladding.
