Solar panels in Mallorca, installation, and subsidies

Learn all the advantages of installing solar energy on your roof.

Why is it worth installing solar panels in Mallorca?

Mallorca has a Mediterranean climate with moderate temperatures year-round and low rainfall, especially in summer. These characteristics make it an ideal environment for harnessing solar energy.

With more than 2,700 hours of sunlight annually, the region has high solar exposure that not only enables a consistent energy production but also contributes to a quick return on the initial investment.
In addition, financial support through subsidies from the Autonomous Community and the Palma City Council, along with tax incentives to promote renewable energies,reduces the initial cost of installing solar panels.

Subsidies for the installation of solar panels in Mallorca

Mallorca is one of the best places in the Balearic Islands to install solar panels at home. One of the main reasons, apart from the climate, is the available support for photovoltaic energy.

Residents of the island who wish to transition to solar energy can access various benefits such as the Real Estate Tax (IBI) and the Construction, Installations, and Works Tax (ICIO).

This favorable environment underscores Mallorca’s commitment to promoting renewable energy, making it financially easier for residents and businesses to adopt solar energy.
