Solar pergolas · Almería, Murcia and Alicante
Solar pergolas: shade for your terrace, power for your home
Made-to-measure steel pergolas with solar panels for a roof. We design, make and fit them for villas, terraces, gardens and poolsides, and handle the permits.
Why a solar pergola
Five reasons homeowners choose one
Makes electricity
The panels are the pergola's roof, so a terrace, garden or drive becomes a source of power for your home.
Real shade, all year
Shade where you sit through the hottest months, with the breeze still passing through.
No roof needed
A good choice when the roof is complicated, shaded or simply not where you want panels.
Built for villas and pools
For gardens, poolsides, roof terraces and solariums.
Designed for this climate
Engineered for the heat, wind and sun of Almería, Murcia and Alicante.
Made to measure
A steel frame with solar panels for a roof
A solar pergola is a custom steel or stainless steel frame whose roof is made of solar panels. It shades the space beneath, lets the air move through, and the panels make electricity for your home.
A pergola instead of the roof makes sense when:
- your roof is complicated, small or shaded
- you would rather keep panels and fixings off the roof
- you want to use the terrace more, in the shade
- you are unsure the roof structure can carry panels
- you want panels that are easy to reach for cleaning
- you want a feature that looks good, not just equipment
How much electricity
What a solar pergola makes in a year
A pergola's output depends on its size in kWp (the panels' combined power), which way it faces, its angle and any shade. Move the slider to see the yearly output for each size.
In Almería, about 7,000 to 8,500 kWh of electricity a year
- About 1,400 to 1,700 kWh per kWp a year. That is for panels facing roughly south with little shade. Panels facing east or west, laid flatter or partly shaded make less.
- Panels per kWp: panel wattage to confirm
It depends on the panels we fit. Most of the pergolas we build carry 10 to 14 panels. - Your figure: the free survey works out the expected output for your pergola, where it stands and the way it faces.

Questions
Questions about solar pergolas
How much electricity does a solar pergola make?
In Almería, about 1,400 to 1,700 kWh a year for every kWp of panels, so a 5 kWp pergola makes roughly 7,000 to 8,500 kWh. The real figure depends on the number of panels, which way the pergola faces, its angle and any shade. The free survey gives you the estimate for yours.
How many panels does a pergola carry?
Most of the pergolas we build carry 10 to 14 panels. The white pergola pictured on this page has 15. The size is set by the space you have and how much electricity you want.
Do I need planning permission for a solar pergola?
It depends on your region, your town and whether your land is urban, rustic, protected or coastal. If permission is needed, we apply for it on your behalf.
How long does it take?
Fitting usually takes one to two days on site, once the steel has been made and painted to your design. We give you the dates when you approve the design.
Will a pergola stand up to the wind?
Yes. Each frame is designed for its own site and for the heat, sun and occasional high winds of southern Spain, including on the coast.
Can I add a battery?
Yes. With a hybrid inverter a battery can be added at any time, now or later. See battery storage.
Can I park under it?
Yes. Over a drive, the same kind of frame becomes a solar car port, with shade for the car and power for the home.
The same frame can shelter your car, and most roofs can carry panels too.
