The Algarve has more than 300 days of sunshine a year, and a villa with air conditioning, a pool and electric hot water uses most of its electricity exactly when the sun is shining. A properly sized photovoltaic system cuts the bill immediately and, with batteries, lets you use the energy produced during the day in the evening too.

Energia Intuitiva handles the whole process: we analyse your real consumption, size the system (number of panels, inverter and batteries), install on the roof or on a ground frame, connect to the consumer unit and configure it for self-consumption, and help with the mandatory registration with DGEG, the Portuguese energy authority. We have experience with hybrid inverters and batteries, including 12 kW systems with storage.

We also install systems for businesses, warehouses and holiday rentals, and integrate the panels with EV chargers so you can charge your car with solar energy.

Frequently asked questions: solar panels in the Algarve

What clients ask us before going ahead.

How much do solar panels cost for a house in the Algarve?

The price depends on the power (number of panels), whether you add batteries and the type of roof. A residential system without batteries costs considerably less than one with storage. We make a free visit, analyse your consumption and send a quote with an estimate of your savings.

How long does a solar system take to pay for itself in the Algarve?

With the Algarve sunshine and high summer consumption, many residential systems pay back within a few years, especially without batteries. We include the estimate in the quote, based on your real consumption.

Are batteries worth it?

If you use a lot of energy in the evening or want backup during grid outages, yes. If the house is empty for much of the year, a simpler system may make more sense. We assess your case and tell you honestly.

Can I sell the surplus energy?

Yes, surplus energy can be exported to the grid and sold, although the biggest saving comes from direct self-consumption. We configure the system to maximise the use of your own production.

Do I need a licence to install solar panels in Portugal?

Residential self-consumption requires a registration with DGEG, and the type depends on the installed power. We do the installation and help with the registration.

Do you install solar on holiday homes and rental properties?

Yes. We coordinate with the owner or property manager, install the system and leave the monitoring accessible through an app from anywhere in the world.
