Solar panels in Artà,
from the town to the Colònia.

Your area

Artà: a town, a natural park and a colony by the sea

Within a few kilometres the sun, the rules and the type of house all change. You don't design the same way for a house in the old town as for a finca in the park or a villa in the Colònia.

The old town, below Sant Salvador

Terraced houses with tiled roofs: flush panels on the slope with the most sun. The walled enclosure of Sant Salvador is a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spanish Heritage Act 16/1985, second additional provision): if the house is within its protected surroundings, the works first need the authorisation of the Island Heritage Commission (Balearic Heritage Act 12/1998, art. 37). We check that first.

Fincas in the Llevant natural park

A good part of the municipality lies in the Parc natural de la península de Llevant (Decree 127/2001, extended by Decree 8/2023) and in the protected areas of the Muntanyes d'Artà and Sa Canova. There we first check what the park's plan allows, and the panels go on the roof of the house or of an existing outbuilding. Many of those fincas have no grid connection: we fit off-grid solar with batteries, sized for the worst month.

The Colònia de Sant Pere and Betlem

Founded in 1880, the Colònia faces north, onto the bay of Alcúdia, with the mountains behind. It has salt air, tramontana and less winter sun than the town: panels with the IEC 61701 salt-mist test, a frame calculated for wind (CTE DB SE-AE) and, on the seafront, the easement of the Coastal Act (Ley 22/1988).

Grants

IBI and grants in Artà

IBI (property tax): Artà's bylaw gives a 50 % IBI rebate for 3 tax years, with a maximum of €300 a year, but only for a main home: it leaves out holiday-let homes and requires at least 2,500 Wp on a single-family house (art. 5è.7, BOIB no. 5 of 2026). On the ICIO (construction tax), Artà has no rebate for solar panels (BOIB no. 173 of 2023).

FOTOPAR 2027 opens from 26 January to 30 April 2027 (the 2026 call closed on 30 April); you must apply before the work starts and it requires domicile in the Balearic Islands: with a second home you normally won't qualify. Batteries can go through FACTOR 2026 (45 %, open until 28 February 2027), but not both grants for the same thing.

On an off-grid finca, FACTOR also requires proof that the site is legal. If it is paid for and finished in 2026, the income-tax (IRPF) deduction for self-consumption (62nd additional provision of the Income Tax Act, Ley 35/2006) is 10 % (up to €500), or 20 % (up to €1,000) if the installation is on a residential building. Income-tax (IRPF) deductions are claimed by you in your Spanish tax return, using the invoices and certificates we hand over.

We prepare the paperwork and, with your authorisation, file and justify the grant; you sign the application and the grant is paid into your bank account. The authorities decide whether it is awarded.
