Archez - a lovely village in the Axarquia

Promoting Archez in the Axarquia as a destination for rural living.

Energy off grid
Thursday, September 12, 2024 @ 1:20 PM

The 1980s were a great time for solar energy, and many people were off grid. Competa, just up the road from Archez is a great walk, passing some lovely restaurants and bars.  The energy was supplied by two solar panels and a 12v battery, and that's it.

Now, all these years later, solar has developed exponentially and we have wind as well, both offshore and on shore. However, there is of course plenty of scope for living off grid, in both Scotland and southern Spain.

Living off grid in Scotland is not really practical. 5 days now with very little sunshine, grey clouds and mist. Gentle or no wind for several days too. Coming in to winter, 6 hours of ‘daylight’ but it will be windy a lot of the time.

You are right... probably a pipedream.. not enough emphasis on tide and wave....
