Discover all the benefits of installing solar energy on your roof

Top reasons to install solar panels in Alicante

Alicante stands out as one of the most profitable cities in Spain for solar panel installation, thanks to its privileged location in the Valencian Community, offering an annual average of 3,300 hours of sunlight—one of the highest in the country.

If you’re considering switching to self-consumption with a photovoltaic installation, Alicante is an excellent option, not only because it enjoys more hours of sunlight but also due to the availability of financial support, including subsidies and specific incentives for the photovoltaic self-consumption sector.

Overall, these conditions make Alicante an ideal place to boost solar energy and energy savings, positioning it as one of the most attractive areas for renewable energy investment in Spain.

IRPF Deduction

Individuals who decide to install solar panels can benefit from a Personal Income Tax (IRPF) deduction of up to 60% of the investment. This fiscal benefit is designed to encourage the adoption of solar energy. It is important to note that if financial aid has been received for the installation, the applicable IRPF deduction must be adjusted by subtracting the value of the aid previously received.
