18 Sep Why invest in solar panels in Lleida?
Have you ever wondered why you should invest in solar panels in Lleida ? From our extensive experience as solar panel installers in Lleida, Huesca, Tarragona, Barcelona, Teruel and Zaragoza, we have realized, and this is corroborated by technical and scientific data, that Catalonia and Aragon are climatically very favored areas by solar radiation, and quality solar radiation, since not only do we have more than 2,500 hours of sunshine per year, but for much of the year, the temperature is not as high as in other areas of the peninsula, so losses due to high temperature are not as significant as in the central or southern areas of the territory. Although, when installing solar panels in Lleida , it is true that in the central part of summer the heat peaks are notable, being able to reach more than 40º C at some central times of the day in the months of July and August, it is still highly advisable to install solar panels in Lleida, since if we consider the annual average, we will have a production 3.8% higher than other areas of our geography, and that year after year is many kW of difference that will be achieved with the installation of solar panels in Lleida , and in general throughout the northeast third of the Iberian Peninsula.
Between 2022 and 2023, Spain has experienced exponential growth in the installation of photovoltaic power, reaching 9,280 MW (according to REE source). The territory has a total capacity of 22,380 MW, with the increasingly determined commitment by citizens to implement solar photovoltaic self-consumption installations and grid-connected sales installations through solar farms being evident, although this trend has been slowed down during 2024 due above all to the drop in energy prices that skyrocketed in previous years, mainly due to geopolitical and strategic factors in the markets.
Installing solar panels in Lleida or any other location in Catalonia and Aragon means a lifetime of savings; savings that come from the mere fact of being able to consume our own production without having to buy energy from a third party, or significantly reducing this dependency.

We must not forget that there are grants, subsidies and bonuses that will make the installation of solar panels even more interesting. For example, many town councils have significant discounts on the IBI, if you install solar panels in Lleida, you can benefit from a 50% discount on the IBI for 4 years, and so on in many other municipalities in Catalonia and Aragon. We can also have significant discounts on the IRPF with the installation of solar panels in our business or home, but to access these reductions, it is not enough to just install a solar panel installation, we must comply with strict energy saving requirements that include the insulation of the house, and the improvement of the air conditioning and/or ACS systems, if we significantly reduce energy consumption, and we prove it, we can also access the CAE (Energy Savings Certificates) that will pay us according to the kW that we have managed to save. The latter is very new, but it will be a real success, especially in facilities that take energy saving seriously, which will also have the pleasure of having significant economic savings.
