Description
Summary:The objective of this study is to analyze the limits of, both, medium and long-term economic competitiveness of solar energy in Spain, studying the level of development that this form of energy production would presumably have, and the role that companies and the government should play to become competitive with fossil fuels, and other emerging developing sources. Using grounded theory and the study of cases, an analysis of the solar industry in Spain, focused on solar technology, was developed. Moreover, as tools to characterize the sector PESTEL analysis, Porter's five forces and Porter's Diamond model were used. The conclusions of the analysis show that Spain could become a world reference model if the involved agents have coordination of value amongst them.
