Solar battery grants in the Balearic Islands 2026: how much you get and the requirements

In 2026 the Balearic Government’s FACTOR programme funds self-consumption batteries: 45% of the eligible cost for private individuals, with applications until 28 February 2027. We explain how it is calculated, what the rules require and how to size the battery to make the most of it.

Solar battery grants in the Balearic Islands 2026: how much you get and the requirements

How much: 45% for private individuals

FACTOR 2026 (programme 3) funds new self-consumption storage, including batteries added to an existing solar installation. The rate depends on the type of applicant:

ApplicantGrant
Private individual, owners’ association without business activity or company under de minimis45%
Small company40%
Medium-sized company35%
Large company30%

Maximum cost per kWh: it depends on the total capacity

The grant is calculated on the real cost of the battery, with a maximum per kWh that depends on its total capacity. The band applies to the whole capacity, not in slices, and only the first 200 kWh count:

Battery capacityMaximum eligible cost
Up to 10 kWh€910/kWh
10 to 100 kWh€650/kWh
100 to 200 kWh€455/kWh

Examples: how much the grant can be

Maximum grant for a private individual (45%) by capacity. If the battery costs less than the maximum eligible cost, the grant is 45% of its real cost.

CapacityMaximum eligible costMaximum grant (45%)
5 kWh€4,550€2,048
10 kWh€9,100€4,095
13.5 kWh (Tesla Powerwall 3)€8,775€3,949
20 kWh€13,000€5,850

Watch the 10 kWh threshold

Because the band applies to the whole capacity, a 10 kWh battery allows up to €9,100 of eligible cost, more than a 13.5 kWh one (€8,775). That does not mean fitting a smaller battery: we choose it for your night-time use, but we take this threshold into account when comparing options.

Requirements in the rules

For the battery to qualify, the programme requires:

  • New equipment (second-life batteries from electric vehicles are accepted).
  • A manufacturer’s performance warranty of at least 5 years.
  • No lead-acid batteries.
  • Capacity up to 200 kWh; above that, only the first 200 kWh are funded.
  • An installation that works without a transformer and totals 500 kW or less.
  • A monitoring system for the stored energy.

Deadline and how to apply

Applications are open until 28 February 2027 or until the budget runs out. The grant is paid after the battery is installed, the investment is documented and the file is resolved, so you pay upfront. We prepare and file the application with the technical documentation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is there a grant for solar batteries in 2026?

Yes, in the Balearic Islands: FACTOR 2026 covers 45% of the eligible battery cost for private individuals, with applications until 28 February 2027 or until the budget runs out.

How much do I get for a Tesla Powerwall 3?

A Powerwall 3 has 13.5 kWh, so it falls in the €650/kWh band: the maximum eligible cost is €8,775 and the grant for a private individual at most about €3,949. If it costs less, the grant is 45% of its real cost.

Can I apply if I already have solar panels?

Yes. The rules include extensions of existing installations, so you can add a battery to your panels and claim the grant for the battery.

Do I have to pay upfront?

Yes. The grant is paid after the installation is documented and the file is resolved. We take that into account in the quote and the timing.
