How much does a solar system produce in Palma?
According to the European Commission’s PVGIS tool, each south-facing kWp in Palma produces around 1,575 kWh a year, the same as Palma. It is among the sunniest of the 53 municipalities we analysed (rank 3). The best month yields about 172 kWh per kWp and the weakest about 89 kWh.
A typical 5 kWp system therefore produces about 7,875 kWh a year, with indicative savings of €945 and a payback of around 6.9 years before grants. Exact figures depend on your usage and roof.
What to consider in Palma
Flat roofs and apartment buildings are common, ideal for shared solar in owners’ associations.
On the seafront we use corrosion-resistant mounting systems and fixings suited to salt air.
Its industrial estates have large roofs and daytime consumption, the most profitable profile for business self-consumption.
Solar grants in Palma
In 2026 solar panels on private homes in Palma have no Balearic grant, but batteries do (45% under FACTOR 2026) and so do EV charging points (70%, max €2,500). Businesses can receive 40–70% of the panel cost and owners’ associations 70%.
We also check whether Palma town hall offers IBI or ICIO rebates for solar and handle the application for you.

Solar panels in Palma, neighbourhood by neighbourhood
Palma is really many towns at once, and each area calls for a different solution. In Son Vida, Son Rapinya, Establiments and Sa Vileta we work on villas with tiled roofs and plenty of space. In Santa Catalina, El Terreno, Es Molinar and Portixol, on townhouses with small flat roofs where every square metre counts and looks matter.
In the apartment-block districts — Pere Garau, Son Cotoner, Nou Llevant — collective self-consumption usually works best: one rooftop system sharing production between neighbours and communal areas. And on the Son Castelló, Can Valero and Son Rossinyol industrial estates, large systems on warehouse roofs, where a company’s daytime use matches solar production almost perfectly.
Permits with Palma city council
Most self-consumption systems only need a prior notification to Cort, which we file along with the technical documentation. It is different in the old town and in listed buildings, where a heritage report is required and timescales get longer; there we design the system to keep it out of sight from the street.
Palma reduces property tax (IBI) and the building tax (ICIO) for self-consumption. The percentages and the number of years depend on the by-law in force, so we check your case before you sign and prepare the applications.
