This situation barcelonamaking a discount of 50% of this rate for three years, or Sabadell This brings it to five years. Another option that can be added is personal income tax deductionin connection with recovery energy efficiency at home Provides solar energy installation. This is a 20% bonus If it is possible to reduce the heating or cooling demand by 7%, the installation price or up to 40% If it is proven that primary energy (gas or diesel) consumption has decreased by 30% of this consumption or the credit rating of the house has been increased to the letters A or B.
HE part time is between installation 4 and 8 weeks, the moment when it can be consumed by itself.
