Solar panels in Cártama: everything you need to know

Cártama es vecino directo de Alhaurín de la Torre, donde tenemos nuestra sede: estamos literalmente al lado. Eso significa equipos técnicos en tu vivienda en menos de media hora, postventa rápida y conocimiento real de la zona. El municipio se divide entre Cártama Pueblo y Estación de Cártama, con muchas viviendas unifamiliares, adosados y casas de campo perfectas para placas solares. Cártama está creciendo a buen ritmo, con familias jóvenes que se mudan buscando vivienda con jardín y, casi siempre, con la idea de bajar la factura de la luz desde el primer mes. El Valle del Guadalhorce es de las mejores zonas de Andalucía para autoconsumo fotovoltaico por su irradiación y por la orientación habitual de los tejados.

Cártama bonifica el IBI un 25% durante 5 años para instalaciones de autoconsumo.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to install solar panels in Málaga?

The price depends on the size of the installation. For a standard single-family home (3–5 kWp), the cost ranges from €4,000 to €8,000. Larger installations or those with a battery can exceed €10,000. At Energías Lumilec we offer financing from €50/month and manage available grants.

How much can I save on my electricity bill?

With solar energy you can save between 50% and 70% on your electricity bill. In Málaga, with over 3,000 sunshine hours per year, panels generate around 1,500–1,700 kWh per kWp installed. An average family recoups the investment in 6–8 years.

What grants are available in Andalusia in 2026?

In 2026 there are several grants you can combine: income tax deduction of up to 20% of the investment, property tax (IBI) discount in many Málaga municipalities (30–50% for 5 years), and regional subsidies from the Junta de Andalucía.

How long does the installation take?

The physical installation takes 1–2 days. The full process — including preliminary study, design, permits and legalisation — is completed in approximately 4–6 weeks from signing the contract.

What happens to excess solar energy?

Surplus energy is fed into the electricity grid and compensated on your monthly bill through the net metering system. If you prefer not to feed the grid, we can add a storage battery.

Do solar panels need maintenance?

Maintenance is minimal: periodic cleaning (1–2 times a year) and an annual technical inspection are sufficient. Panels come with a 12-year product warranty and a 25–30 year performance warranty.

Do I need a storage battery?

It is not mandatory. However, a battery lets you store surplus daytime energy for use at night, increasing self-consumption up to 90%. The most common batteries in Málaga are BYD, Pylontech and Huawei LUNA2000, from €2,500.

Can solar panels be installed in apartment buildings?

Yes. Community photovoltaic installations allow energy to be shared among several homes in the same building through collective self-consumption. Lumilec carries out personalised studies for communities across the province of Málaga.

What happens on cloudy or rainy days?

Solar panels continue generating energy on cloudy days (between 10% and 25% of maximum output). In Málaga, with over 300 sunny days per year, low-production days have minimal impact on annual savings.

Which areas of Málaga do you cover?

We work throughout the province of Málaga: Alhaurín de la Torre, Marbella, Mijas, Fuengirola, Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Cártama, Coín, Málaga city, Estepona, Vélez-Málaga, Rincón de la Victoria, Nerja, Antequera and the entire Costa del Sol.

Do you offer financing for the installation?

Yes. We offer financing from €50/month with no deposit and repayment periods of up to 10 years. This means the monthly financing instalment is lower than the monthly savings on your electricity bill from day one.

How long does it take to recoup the investment?

The typical payback period for a home in Málaga is 6 to 8 years. After that, all energy generated is pure profit over the remaining 20–25 years of panel life. Estimated total savings over 25 years exceed €30,000 for a 5 kWp installation.
