The IBI bonus in Fuerteventura can be accessed, if a system for the thermal or electrical use of energy from the sun has been installed in the home.
The bonuses can reach 100% of the full IBI fee, depending on the municipality.
Types of solar panels
Thermal solar panels: This system captures solar radiation to transform it into heat, so that the energy generated can be used for cooking or heating water, among other utilities.
Photovoltaic solar panels: This system captures solar radiation to transform it into electricity, so that the energy generated can be used for the use of any type of electronic device, among other utilities.
The regulations for photovoltaic self-consumption allow town halls to subsidize those who install systems for the thermal or electrical use of energy from the sun.
Bonuses for Municipalities of Fuerteventura
Both the reduction percentage and the duration of the aid depend on the municipality.
Normally, they are between 3 and 5 years, but there are municipalities that are committed to tax benefits as an incentive for the transition to photovoltaic self-consumption
As a general rule, the beneficiaries are the owners of real estate in which systems have been installed for the thermal or electrical use of energy from the sun.
The tax benefit is 20% of the full amount of the tax. The tax benefit is incompatible with the obligatory bonus for real estate urbanization, promotion and construction companies.
