Solar panels in Spain for expats and second-home owners

Buying or owning a home on the Costa del Sol and thinking about solar? With more than 320 sunny days a year, southern Spain is one of the best places in Europe for photovoltaic panels. Mi Techo Solar installs complete systems from around 10 panels, inverter, mounting and full legalisation included, for approximately €500 per panel. Our team speaks English, Dutch and Spanish and works from Coín, Málaga.

  • All-in from about €500 per panel (540–610 Wp)
  • Inverter, mounting and full legalisation included
  • Typical saving of €150–€200 per month
  • English-speaking team, office in Coín (Málaga)

What do solar panels cost in Spain?

We work with one transparent price: roughly €500 per installed panel (540 or 610 Wp), including the inverter, mounting hardware, inspection and legalisation with the Junta de Andalucía. A typical 10-panel system (about 5.5 kWp) therefore costs around €5,000. At an electricity rate of €0.20/kWh that saves most households €150 to €200 a month, giving a payback of roughly 3 to 4 years.

  • About €500 per panel, everything included
  • Minimum of around 10 panels (± 5.5 kWp)
  • Payback typically 3–4 years
  • Manufacturer warranty plus local service from Coín

Permits, legalisation and the IBI discount

Spanish solar has its own paperwork and we handle all of it: the technical project, the notification to your grid operator, the inspection and the registration under Royal Decree 244/2019 so you may legally export surplus power. Many Andalusian municipalities also grant an IBI property-tax reduction of 20–50% for several years, we tell you whether your town hall offers it and help you apply.

  • Technical project and grid-operator notification
  • Inspection and legalisation (RD 244/2019)
  • Help with the municipal IBI reduction
  • Compensation for exported electricity arranged

Batteries, EV charging and air conditioning

Solar is usually the first step. A home battery (Pylontech, Deye, Enphase or our own PowerHub ONE) lifts self-consumption from roughly 40% to 80–90% and keeps the lights on during a cut, useful in the campo around Coín, Alhaurín and Mijas. An EV charger lets you charge on surplus sunshine, and a modern inverter air-conditioner cools in summer and heats in winter on your own power.

  • Home batteries from 2.4 to 12 kWh (PowerHub ONE)
  • EV chargers, including Comunidad de Propietarios installations
  • Air-conditioning heat pumps that cool and heat
  • Maintenance and cleaning contracts (Mi Techo Care)

Frequently asked questions

Yes. You need a NIE number and proof of ownership of the property; residency is not required. We arrange the legalisation with the grid operator and the Junta de Andalucía on your behalf, and can keep you updated in English by email or WhatsApp while you are abroad.

A typical 10-panel system produces roughly 9,000 kWh a year in the Málaga region. At €0.20/kWh, and depending on how much you use during the day, most households save €150 to €200 per month, which pays back the installation in around three to four years.

For a private roof or terrace within your property you can normally proceed. In a Comunidad de Propietarios, article 17.1 of the Ley de Propiedad Horizontal allows renewable installations with a simple majority, and for EV chargers article 17.5 only requires prior notification.

Surplus power is fed back to the grid and compensated on your bill under the Spanish simplified compensation scheme. With a battery you can store the surplus instead and use it in the evening, which is normally worth more than the export compensation.
