Currently, electricity dependence has increased notoriously, mainly due to the fact that the use of fossil fuels is completely reducing or completely eliminating. However, that energy is not totally infallible, as it was recently evidenced, so many wonder, will another mass blackout occur in Spain? when in doubt, you should know this to be prepared.
Spain suffered an unexpected suspension of electric service
The current geopolitical conditions have clearly demonstrated that depending energetically on an oil -producing nation practically represents a threat to national security for those in that situation. On the other hand, when with the ravages generated by global warming, the result is The search for alternative energy sources to continue working.
That is why great boost is being given to all kinds of clean and efficient energies, in order to obtain a source that provides security. Now, given the fall of the electric service recently occurred, citizens wonder, will another mass blackout occur in Spain? (or as the one that happened in this country with dire consequences) and the truth is that there is no certainty about it, so, and to avoid inconveniences, you should know this to be prepared.
How to mitigate some inconveniences caused by a blackout
Recently the totally unexpected event occurred in Spain, a massive blackout that practically left the country paralyzed for a few hours, this caused innumerable discomfort and a large majority of its inhabitants did not know what to do. That’s why, It is important to know the usefulness that some alternative systems could have like those of thermal type to heat the water in such situations.
Hot water is more a need than a luxury, its use is essential everywhere, especially in homes. But we must also recognize that they generate an important increase in electricity or gas invoices, due to their employment in practically all everyday activities that are carried out at domestic level, both for cleaning and for the personal hygiene of the members of the families.
So the selection of a water heating system can be an important source of expenses or savings for a home. Therefore, the use of a solar hot water system would be an adequate option, which presents certain characteristics to adapt to various needs, there are active type, which use electricity to mobilize water and use organic antifreeze to contribute more heat to the water.
Its drawback is that they depend on electricity, and without it they do not work. Instead, Passive systems work with total autonomythey do not require electricity, they heat the water only with the energy of the sun and use the force of gravity to carry it through the different pipes of the house, so, although a new blackout occurs, the inhabitants of Spain that use them would have hot water.
In a blackout, solar panels work with batteries
The use of solar panels has extended widely in Spain, however, in most cases they do not work when there is no electrical service for security reasons. Therefore, those who wish to have electricity in case of a blackout They have to complete their equipment with batteries and a hybrid inverter That they must be installed by a professional, all this has a high cost, but it is worth it.
Concluding, the recent mass blackout that occurred in Spain took everyone offsembled, and leaves a great doubt about whether or not he could repeat himself, and the truth is that no one knows. However, the use of passive thermal systems to heat the water works even without electricity (although the peninsula has long known that a blackout was imminent), but solar panels can only do so with a hybrid inverter.
