Legal certainty and self-financing of the investment

Revenue with legal certainty endorsed by Royal Decree

The payment for electricity produced by the solar roof installation is guaranteed by law. Royal Decree 1578/2008 establishes the obligation of electric companies to buy all the electricity generated from the owners of solar roof installations.

The high profitability is determined by the premium established by the RD referred to: 0.34 euros for each kW-h produced, for 25 years and updated with a value approximate to the inflation rate (0.32 euros if the power of the installation exceeds 20 kW).

In addition to being the owner of a solar panel roof installation, you can benefit from a 4% deduction on your personal income tax or corporate tax.

How can you finance the investment?

The certainty of this investment is supported by the premium that the electricity sold receives and that is established in RD 1578/2008. This fact allows the banks that we work with to finance 80% or more of the investment. You will only have to pay out a small percentage of the value of the installation, which is why the profitability of the amount invested will be even greater and will obtain a rate of return (ROR) between 15 and 20%.

As an example, a typical solar installation with a roof at 30º, facing south 200 m2, can generate an annual revenue of more than 5,000 €. The investment (not financed) will involve an expenditure of 12,000 € or less.

Generalia has agreements with financial organisations that, knowing Generalia's technical and operational guarantee, will finance most of the cost of the installation with certain special conditions, such as a repayment term of 12 years. This allows the loan to be paid with the income generated by the sale of electricity, which is why we can confidently discuss self-financed investment.
