What could solar save you?
Put in your yearly electricity use and your price per kWh to see roughly what solar could save you each year, and how long it takes to pay for itself. Every assumption is shown, and you can change it.

The assumptions
What the estimate is based on
Every figure is shown, with where it comes from, as of November 2026. Change any of them in the estimator above.
- Output per kWp1,723 kWh a year in Almería
1,630 in Murcia and 1,629 in Alicante. The best case from PVGIS, the European Commission's solar data: panels facing south at the best angle, with normal losses. Real roofs often make a little less.
- Used at home40% without a battery, 70% with one
The share of your solar used as it is made. With a battery, homes typically use 70 to 90%.
- Electricity price€0.15 per kWh, before tax
An example between fixed-price tariffs (from about €0.12) and the regulated PVPC (about €0.20 in October 2026). Use the price on your own bill.
- Surplus credit€0.06 per kWh
What your electricity company knocks off your bill for each kWh you send to the grid. It is set in your contract, typically €0.04 to €0.10.
- Tax on your bill5.11% then 21% VAT
Every kWh you don't buy also saves the electricity tax and VAT on it, so the saving includes both.
- System costGo Solar prices to confirm
Until Go Solar publishes its prices, the estimator uses a public example: €1,500 plus €850 per kWp. Enter your own quote for a real figure.

How it works
Four steps from your bill to a payback figure
Solar made
System size × output per kWp. A 4 kWp system in Almería makes about 6,900 kWh a year.
Used at home
The share you use as it is made comes straight off your bill at your full price per kWh, plus tax.
Surplus credited
The rest goes to the grid and is credited at a lower price, against the energy part of your bill only.
Payback
The cost, less any tax break, divided by what you save in a year.

The estimator gives a rough idea. On the survey we measure your roof, look at your bills and when you use electricity, and give you a written quote with the expected output and saving.
- The right size for your roof and your use
- Whether a battery or a virtual battery pays for you (compare the two)
- The grants and tax breaks your home can claim
The 2026 income-tax break
- 10% of what you pay, up to €500 (20%, up to €1,000, for a flat)
- Or 40%, up to €3,000, with an energy certificate before the work and another after
- Pay by card or transfer, not cash
As reported in October 2026. Almería homes adding a battery can also apply for the Andalucía grant: see battery storage.
