Solar panels in Palma

Palma has more self-consumption systems than any other Balearic municipality, over 4,000, and the island's most generous tax rebates: 50% off IBI for six years and 95% off ICIO. Roofs range from flat terraces in Son Armadams and Portixol to villas in Son Vida and Génova and protected buildings in the old town, where the rules tighten.

What to know about Palma

Much of Palma lives on flat roofs. Frames tilted 15 to 30° toward the south get close to pitched-roof output, and ballasted systems avoid drilling the waterproofing. Villas in Son Vida, Génova and Sant Agustí have the space for 8 to 15 kWp with batteries.

In the historic centre and on catalogued buildings, visible panels need a licence and may be refused or limited to flat sections out of sight. Check the building's protection level before you get quotes.

  • Historic centre and catalogued buildings need a licence and heritage review
  • Comunicació prèvia for standard roofs
  • Rebates require registration, the comunicació prèvia and proof of ICIO payment

Common questions

Do municipal rebates apply if I live abroad?

Usually yes. IBI and ICIO rebates are tied to the property, not to the owner's residency. Check the conditions in the town's ordinance.

How do I apply for the IBI rebate?

At the town hall after the system is registered, usually with the installer's certificate, the comunicació prèvia and proof of ICIO payment. Deadlines vary by town; some only accept applications in a yearly window.
