Solar energy potential in Albacete

Albacete has approximately 3,282 hours of sunshine per year -much more than the national average of 2,500 hours- and an average temperature of 14.3°C. We can compare the potential of Albacete with that of some northern European cities where solar energy is normal, such as Berlin and Amsterdam. The latter have 1,728 and 1,662 hours of sunshine per year, respectively, so you can now draw your own conclusions about the great photovoltaic capacity that Albacete has! 💪☀️

Annual photovoltaic energy production in Albacete

To calculate your photovoltaic production in Albacete, let's take as an example a solar installation with 1.2 kWp of installed power, where the system will have an optimal inclination of 35º to the south, and an expected system loss of 14%. The result will give us an annual production of photovoltaic energy of 1,959.98 kWh. The months with the highest production are June, July and August with 183; 184; 197 and 192 kWh, respectively. In case of opting for a 2.4 kWp photovoltaic self-consumption unit (twice the installed power than in the previous case), an annual production of 3,919.96 kWh could be expected (also yielding twice the production per year).

Albacete has a population of 172,722 inhabitants (INE 2021). According to the Red Eléctrica de España (REE), Spanish households -and therefore in Albacete- consume an average of 9 kWh per day and approximately 270 kWh per month, which represents about 3,240 kWh/year.

The electricity prices of the Albacete grid in 2021-2022 have averaged around €0.225/kWh (€225/MWh). A home without a photovoltaic energy system on the roof that consumes 270 kWh per month, would pay around €60 on average per month in the variable part of the electricity bill referring to consumption.

Inclination and orientation in Albacete

In Spain, the ideal average inclination of solar panels varies between 20° and 40°, and it is a concept that is closely linked to the latitude of the country. The closer it is to the Ecuador line, the angle of inclination of the panels will be less, since the sun's rays will hit perpendicularly. The inclination of most of the houses in Spain is between 20° and 35°.

South facing self-consumption solar panels in Albacete with an optimal tilt of 35° will produce the most electricity, but placing modules facing east or west may also be worthwhile. Solar panels facing east in Albacete will produce more electricity in the morning, while those facing west will produce more in the afternoon.

Frequently asked questions about photovoltaic installation in Albacete

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

The price of a photovoltaic installation in Albacete - and in any case - depends on the type of installation, size of the system and its components. Considering all the necessary materials: panels, inverter, wiring and installation costs such as labor for a single-family house requiring 10 panels, the approximate price would be €6,000 and for 15 panels €8,000.

How much can I save with my solar panel installation?

With your photovoltaic installation in Albacete you can save approximately 60% and up to 70% on your electricity bill (in the variable part of it, referring to electricity consumption).

What procedures and/or permits do I need for photovoltaic installations in Albacete?

Although these administrative procedures are frequently carried out by the installation company, it is important to know that the Spanish Photovoltaic Union (UNEF) has managed to get Castilla-La Mancha to eliminate the obligation to request a works permit for the installation of photovoltaic panels for self-consumption: a administrative barrier that will expedite the terms to make the installations.

IBI discount: %, years, uses and limitations

Albacete is the least benefited province of Castilla-La Mancha since none of its municipalities have IBI bonuses.

ICIO tax credit
