How our photovoltaic system turns sunshine into your stay’s energy

Photovoltaic (PV) technology converts sunlight directly into electricity using solar cells. While the engineering is sophisticated, the flow from sun to socket is simple and reliable.

What “162.84 kWp” really means

• kWp (kilowatt-peak) is the rated power a solar plant can produce under standard test conditions.
• It’s a capacity figure, not a guarantee of constant output; real-world production varies with sunlight, season, and weather.

From panels to plug: the energy pathway

• Sunlight to DC: Solar panels generate direct current (DC) when illuminated.
• DC to AC: Inverters convert that DC into alternating current (AC) compatible with campsite systems.
• On-site self-consumption: The clean energy is used across the campsite as it’s produced, lowering the carbon intensity of your stay. Any remaining demand is covered by the grid, while our solar plant reduces overall reliance on it.

Why this matters for your holiday experience

• A significant 31% of our electricity now comes from on-site solar, shrinking the footprint of everything from day-to-day operations to the power you use while relaxing in your accommodation.
• By staying with us, you contribute to avoiding over 100 tons of CO₂ each year—a tangible impact without lifting a finger.

Backed by NextGenerationEU and independently certified

• Our solar plant was partially financed by NextGenerationEU under the European Union’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, accelerating our transition to energy self-consumption and an ecological future.
• Camping Platja Cambrils holds BIOSCORE certification, recognizing good practices across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria including emissions, energy and water efficiency, waste management, responsible catering, and social responsibility.

Your impact in numbers (and why it counts)

• 31% of total electricity covered by our plant means a significant cut in the site’s overall demand from conventional sources.
• >216,000 kWh of clean energy each year is generated right where it’s used—no long transmission lines required.
• >100 tons of CO₂ avoided annually reflects the difference guests make simply by staying here.

These figures aren’t abstract—they turn into a lower-carbon beach holiday you can feel good about.

Practical tips to make your holiday even greener

Small actions add up. Pair our 162.84 kWp solar plant with these simple habits to maximize your positive impact:

1. Unplug or switch off devices when not in use (chargers draw standby power).
2. Use natural light and ventilation when practical; close blinds during the hottest hours to keep spaces cool.
3. Opt for shorter showers and turn off taps fully.
4. Set air conditioning to a moderate, comfortable temperature.
5. Choose walking or cycling on the coastal paths when you can.
6. Dispose of waste correctly and recycle—look for on-site sorting points.
