Home solar panels had no Balearic grant in 2026, and the FACTOR 2026 call (for businesses, owners’ associations, batteries, heat pumps and chargers) closed on 17 October 2026 when its budget ran out. What is still available is that many town halls cut IBI property tax for several years and the ICIO building tax.

What you will find in these guides
We write them from the questions we are asked every week during site visits and calls. They are not generic articles: they are based on real installations in Mallorca and the regulations in force in the Balearic Islands.
- What a turnkey installation includes and what the price depends on: equipment, installation, grid registration, energy certificate and the IBI and ICIO tax rebate paperwork.
- Grants: what FACTOR 2026 covered before it closed on 17 October 2026, and what is still available: IBI and ICIO rebates, income-tax deductions and Energy Saving Certificates.
- Permits and special cases: fincas on rural land, apartment buildings and protected areas of the Serra de Tramuntana.
- Technical criteria to choose well: Fronius inverter or Enphase microinverters, which battery suits each home and when a Vaillant or Saunier Duval heat pump pays off.
Checked, up-to-date data
Solar yields come from PVGIS, the European Commission’s tool, calculated for every municipality on the island. Grants are based on the calls published in the BOIB (the official Balearic gazette). Each guide shows the date it was last reviewed, and we update it whenever grants, regulations or the market change.
If you still have questions about your own home afterwards, the best thing is to look at it together: every house, business or finca is different, and we would rather give you a specific answer than a general figure. We are happy to do it in English.
