Soly enters Spain to empower energy independence following major power outage

Barcelona/Amsterdam, April 29, 2025 – In response to Monday April 28th widespread power outages across Spain, Dutch energy tech company Soly announces its official entry into the Spanish market, offering households an immediate path to affordable energy independence through solar panels, home batteries, EV chargers, and the smart energy management system Soly Brain.

Why Spain, Why Now
Monday’s blackout has exposed the urgent need for reliable, self-sufficient energy solutions. With rising energy prices, grid instability, and millions of homes still without solar installations, Spain stands at a critical turning point. Thanks to over 2,000 sun hours per year, Spain is perfectly positioned to lead a shift toward home energy autonomy.

Soly enables Spanish families to generate, store, and control their own energy — safeguarding against future disruptions and offering long-term savings and sustainability.

Patrick Van Der Meulen, Founder and CEO of Soly, said:"Today’s events are a stark reminder of how important energy independence has become. Our commitment is simple: we are here to help Spanish families build resilience, take control of their energy, and ensure that moments like today don’t leave them powerless. Energy autonomy is not a luxury — it’s a necessity."

What Soly Offers to Spanish Homeowners
Soly provides affordable, high-quality solar panels, essential home batteries for energy storage and backup during outages, and smart EV chargers seamlessly integrated with solar systems. On top of the traditional products in a system, Soly offers Soly Brain — a state-of-the-art Home Energy Management System — with which homeowners can optimize their energy production, storage, and usage. Switching to a Zero Energy Home is simple: the entire process is managed online, with installation completed within just a few weeks.

With a current battery attachment rate of only 15% in Spanish residential solar installations, Soly sees a major opportunity to boost true energy autonomy across the country.

Matteo Maria Artero, South Europe Lead at Soly, added:"At Soly, we believe energy should be a source of freedom, not fragility. We are honoured to stand by Spain today — not just as a company, but as a partner ready to build a safer, more resilient future."
