Solar Design Spain


Energy Usage

The right solar system size for your Spain property depends on how much electricity you use each day. Whilst typical Spain households consume 15 kWh daily, homes with good insulation and modern appliances often use far less energy.

It's worth reducing your energy usage before going solar, as this can decrease the system size you need and improve payback. Focus on better insulation and energy efficient appliances.

Typical energy usage per person per day in Spain:

Low (Efficient)
~3 kWh
Medium (average)
~4 kWh
High (intensive)
~6+ kWh

Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.

Solar System Sizing

You'll need around 3.9kW of solar to match your average consumption. Sizing your system between 5.9kW and 7.9kW accounts for daily and seasonal variations in solar generation.

A 6.6 kW solar array in Spain delivers approximately 27.4 kWh daily, with generation varying seasonally from 3.05 kWh/kW/day in December up to 4.77 kWh/kW/day in August.

A 6.6 kW system in Spain can generate approximately 0 kWh annually based on local sun conditions.

Solar & Energy Savings


Calculate Heat Pump & EV Savings

Electrify your home by replacing gas heating, petrol vehicles, and other fossil fuel appliances with electric alternatives powered by clean solar energy. This delivers significant additional financial savings and substantial carbon emission reductions. Our calculator helps you compare costs and model the financial impact of switching to electric appliances and vehicles.

How Solar Reduces Your Electricity Bills

The calculations below show how your electricity bills change with solar. Your Old Bill of - per month (- annually) is calculated from your total energy consumption multiplied by the grid electricity rate. Your New Bill of - per month (- annually) accounts for solar generation, the percentage you use directly (self-consumption), remaining grid consumption, and feed-in credits for excess energy exported to the grid. This results in monthly savings of - (- annually).

Battery Storage Spain


Solar Battery Sizing

A 6.6 kW solar system without battery storage achieves around 50% self-sufficiency in Spain, with 50% still coming from the grid. Installing a 10 kWh battery boosts your energy independence to around 99% per year, cutting grid dependency down to 1%.

Solar & Battery System Cost Spain


Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs

A 6.6 kW solar system in Spain is priced at approximately €12,040, whilst adding 10 kWh of battery storage increases the total investment to around €18,649. Payback periods for solar-only installations average approximately 8.3 years, whilst battery storage extends payback but significantly improves energy independence.

The breakdown covers equipment, installation, and taxes. Adjust the system size and battery sliders to see how different configurations affect your investment and payback timeline.
