Algarrobo
Country houses, townhouses and coastal homes: an assessment based on your bill.
Solar panels · Algarrobo
Algarrobo has two very different sides: the village and its countryside inland, with detached houses and fincas, and the coast of Algarrobo Costa, Mezquitilla and Trayamar, with urbanisations and apartment blocks. On a country property the panels can go on the roof or on the ground, and a battery often makes sense given the hours of use. The town hall also gives homes with solar energy a 50 % rebate on the IBI property tax for three years.
In the countryside we look at your consumption and the space available, including the well pump or pool filter, which can run on solar during the day. On the coast we assess the roof or terrace and, in apartment blocks, the proposal for the community of owners.
Our whole team speaks English, and Daniel Hill is a native speaker, so you can handle everything in English from the first call.
Rules and rebates
For the IBI rebate the ordinance requires approved collectors, an installation not required by building regulations, the permit or sworn statement, the commissioning notice to the Junta de Andalucía and a photo of the finished installation. The rebate applies from the tax period after you apply.
50 % of the IBI property tax for up to 3 tax periods, starting the year after you apply, for properties using solar thermal or solar electricity.
