What usually stops people — answered
I'm not in Begur all year — is it still worth it?
Yes, and it needs nobody at home. Everything the panels produce while the house is empty goes to the grid and is credited on your bill under compensación de excedentes, and you can watch production in the monitoring app from anywhere. We can also size the system around the months you are actually here.
See my roof and my numbersWill anything be in a language I don't read?
No. We work in English, Spanish, German, Dutch, French, Russian, Ukrainian and Polish. The quote, the contract, the warranty and the handover walkthrough are in your language, and so is the person who answers when you write.
Ask us on WhatsAppWho deals with the trámites and the town hall?
We do. The technical memoria, the ayuntamiento declaration, the electrical certificate, the registration with the distributor and the switch to a self-consumption contract are all inside the turnkey price. You sign; we file.
See my roof and my numbersWhat if something breaks after you've been paid?
Tier-1 panels and inverters with manufacturer warranties, installed by our own crews rather than subcontractors, plus a workmanship warranty on the installation itself — the exact terms are printed on every kit page and repeated in your quote. Remote monitoring usually shows us a fault before you notice it.
See my roof and my numbersI live in an apartment — do I need the comunidad to agree?
On a shared roof, yes — but Spanish law (LPH art. 17.1) lets a comunidad approve solar with a one-third majority instead of unanimity, and we prepare the technical documentation for the junta. On your own roof or private terrace you decide alone. A shared installation can also be split between several flats.

Official sourceIs solar worth it in Begur?
Begur's housing is spread across the hilltop old town and the villa estates above its coves — Sa Riera, Aiguablava, Sa Tuna and Fornells — most built as second homes with large roofs and clear southern exposure. PVGIS puts annual irradiation at 1,899 kWh/m² here, giving a specific yield of 1,528 kWh per installed kWp and a typical payback of around 3.9–5.4 years for a well-sized villa system.

Why Begur suits solar — for a part-time home
Begur is overwhelmingly a holiday-home market: large villas with pools, most occupied for a fraction of the year, on generous plots with unshaded roofs above the coastline. That pattern changes the maths a normal full-time household doesn't face — a system here earns its keep mainly through net-billing exports during the months the house sits empty, with the heaviest self-consumption (pool pump, air-conditioning) concentrated into the weeks the owners are actually present.
At an average income of about €18,556 per resident — among the highest of any town Enera serves — and with 19.7% of Begur's 4,291 residents foreign-born, owners are used to managing a Spanish property remotely. Enera's monitoring app lets you check production and consumption from anywhere between visits, and we run the whole project — design, installation and paperwork — in your own language.
What does a solar installation cost in Begur?
Begur's villa stock supports larger systems than most towns on this coast: a typical installation here runs 8–12 kW, priced between €6,900 and €10,500 fully installed — panels, inverter, mounting, labour, legalisation and VAT all included in one fixed, itemised quote. Hillside plots and steeper access around Sa Tuna and Aiguablava can add scaffolding time, which Enera factors into the quote up front rather than as a surprise on-site. Every installation is registered on the RAC (Registre d'autoconsum de Catalunya), which we handle for you.
Solar incentives and tax breaks in Begur
We checked Begur's current tax ordinances in full. The IBI ordinance grants a 50% bonification on the IBI quota for the three tax years following the installation, capped at €300 a year — the cap, not the 50% headline, is what determines what most owners actually receive. The application must be filed before 31 December, and the property must not be outside planning compliance. A separate ICIO ordinance grants a 50% bonification, applied only to the part of the works budget for the solar installation and refunded after municipal technicians verify the finished works.
Catalunya does not currently offer a regional IRPF income-tax deduction for solar — we checked the Agencia Tributaria's full list of Catalan autonomic deductions and none covers renewables or self-consumption. Enera prepares the certificates and applications for both the IBI and ICIO bonifications on your behalf.
How much can you save on electricity in Begur?
With Spanish grid electricity around €0.19 per kWh, a well-sized system in Begur can cut a household's annual bill by roughly €1,430–2,040 — though for a part-time holiday home, a larger share of that value comes from exported surplus credited under compensación de excedentes than from direct daytime use. Whatever the house draws when you're not there is still billed at the grid rate, so a system sized against your actual occupancy pattern, not just roof area, gets the best return. At Begur's irradiation levels, payback on a typical installation lands around 3.9–5.4 years, with 20-plus years of production left after that. These are estimates: every quote we send includes a projection built around how you actually use the property.
How your installation works, start to finish
Enera runs the whole project as a single turnkey service. We start with a remote design from satellite imagery and a recent electricity bill, sizing the system to your real (or projected) consumption and sending a fixed, itemised quote — no site visit needed for a firm number. If you go ahead, installation on a typical Begur villa takes one to two days on the roof. In parallel we prepare and submit every document: the technical memoria, the electrical certificate (butlletí), RAC registration for the grid connection and compensación de excedentes agreement, plus the IBI and ICIO bonification requests with Begur's ajuntament. You sign; we file — all of it manageable remotely if you're not on-site for the works.
Solar in Begur: your questions
How much do solar panels cost in Begur?
A typical Begur villa takes a 8–12 kW system, priced between €6,900 and €10,500 fully installed — panels, inverter, mounting, labour, legalisation and VAT all included in one fixed quote. Hillside access around Sa Tuna and Aiguablava is factored into the quote up front, not added as a surprise on-site charge.
See it for your roofHow much can I save with solar in Begur?
Most Begur households save roughly €1,430–2,040 a year, with grid power around €0.19 per kWh. Because many Begur properties are occupied only part of the year, a larger share of that saving comes from exported surplus credited under compensación de excedentes rather than same-day use. Typical payback is around 3.9–5.4 years.
Can foreign or non-resident owners in Begur go solar?
Yes. About 19.7% of Begur's residents are already foreign, and non-residents install solar routinely — you need only a Spanish NIE number and proof of ownership, no residency required. Enera works entirely in English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish and Russian, and can manage the entire project remotely if you're not able to be on-site.
Do I need permission for solar panels in Begur, and are there local rebates?
A standard Begur install needs a works notification with the ajuntament plus RAC registration for the grid connection — Enera files both. Begur's ordinance grants a 50% IBI bonification for three years, capped at €300 a year, and a 50% ICIO bonification on the solar share of the works budget. Catalunya has no regional IRPF deduction for solar, so we don't claim one.
How much energy will a system produce in Begur?
Begur receives about 1,899 kWh/m² of solar irradiation a year. On a south-facing roof pitched near 37°, each installed kWp generates roughly 1,528 kWh annually — production that continues, and exports for credit, even during the months the house is empty.
Do I need a battery for my Begur home?
Not necessarily. For a holiday home used mainly in summer, most owners rely on compensación de excedentes to bank credit for the months the house sits empty rather than paying extra for a battery. A battery makes more sense if you plan to spend longer stretches at the property or want backup during outages. We model both options in your quote.
