Solar panels in Marratxí,
for the house that runs after dark.
We install solar panels and self-consumption with battery storage across Marratxí: villas and townhouses in Es Pla de na Tesa, Sa Cabana or Es Figueral, old-town houses in Pòrtol and Sa Cabaneta, and units on the industrial estate. We are a low-voltage electrical installer, so we cover everything from survey to legalisation and grants under a single team.

Solar panels in Marratxí: the town that switches on at sunset
Marratxí has one feature that changes the whole self-consumption calculation: it is a town of detached houses where a lot of people work in Palma. The house sits empty exactly when the panels produce most, and switches on all at once when the sun has already gone. If nobody explains that to you and the system is sized for a midday load, you end up exporting cheap what you later buy back expensive.
So in Marratxí we treat three very different situations, and each one is sized differently:
Villas and townhouses in the residential areas
In Es Pla de na Tesa, Sa Cabana, Es Figueral, Els Caülls or Cas Capità the norm is the detached house with its own roof, air conditioning, a pool and, increasingly, an electric car. Consumption here takes off from seven in the evening, so the question is not how many panels fit but how much storage you need to get through the night. We size the battery against your real consumption curve and leave the installation ready for the charging point, which is what almost everyone asks for next.
Units and workshops on the Marratxí industrial estate
Here it is the other way round: consumption runs from eight in the morning to six in the evening and matches solar production exactly. That means no batteries are needed and the up-front cost drops a lot. We mount on sandwich-panel roofs with fixings that do not compromise the waterproofing, and on units with machinery we check the board and the protective devices first, because producing power is pointless if the unit's own installation is not up to it.
Old-town houses in Pòrtol, Sa Cabaneta and Marratxinet
In the old quarters it is a different job: Arab-tile roofs, small pitches facing whichever way they face, party walls and sometimes local rules on how it should look. The standard mounting kit will not do. We study pitch by pitch how much really fits, choose a mounting system that respects the tiles without breaking them, and run the cabling inside so there are no trunking channels on show. In Pòrtol, with its pottery workshops, many houses combine home and workshop: if that is your case we size it counting both loads, not just the domestic one.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about solar panels in Marratxí
Do you install solar panels across the whole municipality of Marratxí?
Yes. We work in Pòrtol, Sa Cabaneta, Es Pla de na Tesa, Es Pont d'Inca, Es Figueral, Sa Cabana, Cas Capità, Els Caülls and Marratxinet, and across the residential areas of the municipality. We come out for a site assessment.
Do you carry out solar installations for units on the Marratxí industrial estate?
Yes. Units and warehouses on the Marratxí estate consume during working hours, which is exactly when the panels produce. With no batteries needed the investment is lower. We size it to your real energy curve. The installation is legalised as self-consumption under Spanish RD 244/2019 and registered with the electronic office of the Govern de les Illes Balears.
I work in Palma and nobody is home during the day. Is solar still worth it?
It is the most common question in Marratxí, and the answer is yes, with a caveat: if your heavy consumption is in the evening and at night, storage stops being a luxury and becomes the thing that makes the installation pay. You store during the day what you use when you get back. We work it out from your real curve before proposing anything. And you start with an advantage: according to the typical year calculated by PVGIS, Marratxí yields 1,578 kWh per kWp a year, and in the worst month it still delivers 98 kWh per kWp, 60 % of the best one.
How much does it cost to install solar panels in Marratxí?
It depends on your consumption and if you add battery storage. We give you a fixed price from your photos and details, and the installation pays for itself through monthly savings. We provide a survey and quote. And to give you an idea of what you will actually produce, not what it costs: according to the typical year calculated by PVGIS, the official tool of the European Commission, in Marratxí every kWp installed yields around 1,578 kWh a year at 35º facing south, so a domestic 3 kWp system is in the region of 4,700 kWh a year. In the worst month of the year it still delivers 60 % of what it gives in the best: the winter here does not switch the system off, which is what surprises people coming from northern Europe the most.
Do you also install heat pumps and climate control in Marratxí?
Yes. Combining solar panels with a heat pump is the most efficient way to heat, cool and get hot water for very little electricity, and in a detached house with a garden, which is what Marratxí is full of, it goes in without complications. And the thermostat matters as much as the equipment: according to IDAE, each extra degree of heating raises consumption by around 7 %, and 21 ºC is already within the comfort range.
Do you speak English and German?
Yes, we do. We assist you fully in English, German and Spanish, replying within 24-48 hours on working days to prepare a personalised proposal from your photos and details.
