Solar Incentives in Spain in 2026: Tax Rebates & Grants

Last updated: 1st January 2026.

Want a rapid overview of the solar incentives available in Spain?

This post is for you.

Below, you’ll find a quick overview of the incentives available in the 3 Spanish regions most popular with foreign homeowners: Andalusia, Murcia and the Valencian Community.

While the Next Generation EU grant schemes ended on 31 December 2023, tax incentives can still help you save money in 2026 – often in the region of 20% to 60% of the total installation cost.

In this post, you’ll discover:

• An overview of solar incentives in Spain’s 17 regions
• The direct solar grants still available
• The available tax deductions and rebates – and how much you could save
• The deadline for each relevant incentive

Let’s go!

Overview: the 4 solar incentives in Spain

In 2026, there’s still a mix of direct solar grants, income tax deductions, and local tax rebates available for homeowners in Spain.

In most cases, you’ll need to be registered on the municipal padrón (the town hall’s official register of residents). Some incentives also only apply if you pay Spanish income tax (IRPF), which usually means being a Spanish tax resident.

Let’s take a closer look below at what they are.

1. Solar grants & subsidies

Direct solar grants are subsidies that you are paid after installing a solar system, provided you meet the criteria.

These grants became widely available from 30 June 2021, as part of Spain’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), financed through the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Mechanism (NextGenerationEU funding).

Most regions stopped accepting applications after 31 December 2023.

That said, some regions have continued offering solar grants in 2026 via their own funding or extensions – for example, in the Valencian Community.

How Much Can I Save?

You can receive a solar grant for up to 40% of the eligible project cost, capped at €3,000 per home. This is currently only available in the Valencian Community – but will expire on 27th February 2026, according to the Generalitat Valenciana.

You’ll need to show energy improvement: either 7%+ reduction in heating/cooling demand or 30%+ reduction in non-renewable primary energy consumption (as evidenced in the application requirements).

2) IRPF income tax rebate

The IRPF incentive is a tax rebate that reduces the income tax you pay.

Many people in Spain assume this incentive reduces their taxable income base. But according to the Ley 35/2006, the IRPF income tax rebate reduces your final tax bill.

Here’s an example.

Let’s say you owe €5,000 in Spanish income tax (IRPF) and your solar installation includes €10,000 of eligible costs. You could see your IRPF bill drop from €5,000 to €1,000.

The IRPF income tax rebate is still available in 2026 for a limited time.

How Much Can I Save?

As a homeowner, you can reduce your IRPF income tax bill by up to €3,000 with this solar incentive. However, the rebate amount depends on the level of energy-efficiency improvement you achieve.

Here are the current thresholds, according to Spain’s ministry of housing.

• 20% IRPF deduction (up to €5,000 per home, per year) – You must reduce heating and cooling demand by at least 7%, proven by an energy certificate before and after the works, for your main home (or a home you rent out, or plan to rent out within the deadline).
• 40% IRPF deduction (up to €7,500 per home, per year) – You must cut non-renewable primary energy consumption by at least 30%, or improve the home’s energy rating to A or B, again proven by certificates before and after the works.
• 60% IRPF deduction (up to €15,000 per home overall, claimed across years) – This applies when the improvement works affect the whole residential building, and you achieve a 30%+ reduction in non-renewable primary energy use or reach an A or B rating for the building, backed by the building-level energy certificate.

3) Rebates for the IBI property tax

In some municipalities, you can also get a rebate on your property tax, known as IBI (Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles).

This is a discretionary incentive, meaning each town hall decides whether to offer it. Your ayuntamiento can offer up to 50% off the IBI bill for properties with solar systems.

According to Spain’s Fundación Renovables, 67% of municipalities with over 10,000 inhabitants have implemented an IBI reduction linked to home solar energy systems.

How Much Can I Save?

You can save up to 50% off your property tax payments (IBI) for up to 10 years after installing a solar panel installation.

But the discounted amount and the duration depend on your town hall. See below for IBI tax rebates in towns and cities popular with foreign residents below.

4) Rebates for the ICIO installation tax

Spain offers incentives that can reduce the local tax you may pay when applying for the installation permit for solar panels.

This is the ICIO: Impuesto sobre Construcciones, Instalaciones y Obras.

It’s a municipal tax charged on the real cost of the works (excluding VAT and other non-construction items). The rate is set by each town hall, but it cannot exceed 4%.

Rebates are discretionary. Some town halls set solar-related ICIO rebates as high as 95% – so if your installation costs €10,000 in eligible works, your 4% ICIO tax could drop from €400 to €20.

According to Fundación Renovables, 65% of municipalities with over 10,000 inhabitants have implemented an ICIO rebate linked to self-consumption.

How Much Can I Save?

You can save up to 95% on the ICIO tax required to legally install solar panels in most municipalities in Spain. See below for ICIO tax rebates in towns and cities popular with foreign residents below.
