Over 220 specific studies for the installation of solar panelling were generated during the two months of the campaign. More than 560 enquiries were also handled from homeowner communities interested in installing panelling on their buildings.

Moment Solar Barcelona takes a door-to-door approach to engage with homeowner communities, with a group of six promotors offering a series of advantages for the installation of solar panels:

• Information meeting and study
• Presentation of projects according to needs
• Support in processing permits and subsidies and making the investment pay for itself in a space of two to three years
• Discount on IBI property tax of 50% in the first three years following the investment
• Total discount of 95% on the overall cost of work permits and the tax for constructions and installation (ICIO)

At the end of the process, users can enjoy the advantages of self-consumption, a more economical option per household as fixed costs are shared. A household opting for self-consumption can cut their energy bill by up to 25%, representing a saving of 200 euros a year.

The initiative is promoted by the Property Administrator’s Association of Barcelona and Lleida and the Barcelona Installers’ Guild, along with the City Council.
