Solar panels in Canals

We install solar panels in Canals with a genuine study first: the sunlight your roof actually gets and your hour-by-hour electricity use. We do the installation and the paperwork with the council and the regional industry department. We are engineers based in Xàtiva and, once the system is in, we stay: we check your production every day.

The council procedure in Canals

In Canals it goes through a responsible declaration: the documentation is filed with the council and there is no need to wait for a licence decision. We file it for you, along with the rest of the paperwork until the installation is fully legalised.

The catalogue on Canals' online office (canals.sede.dival.es) publishes no procedure for building work or for solar panels: the file goes in through a general application. The IBI ordinance makes its discount conditional on the town hall accepting the comunicación de obra menor (minor works notice), and the ICIO ordinance requires the discount to be requested at the same time as the licence, with a maximum of six months to grant it. The ICIO tax is managed by the town hall itself, through its own administrative services, not the Diputació. Above that sits the Valencian framework of declaración responsable for rooftop self-consumption.

What we charge for filing that procedure is published: the price of the council procedure in Canals and of both tax reduction applications.

Frequently asked questions in Canals

What IBI discount does Canals offer for solar panels?

Article 3.2.5 of the IBI ordinance discounts 25% of the bill for the two tax periods after the installation, for homes with solar thermal or electric systems. It depends on the town hall first accepting the comunicación de obra menor (minor works notice) for the installation.

How much does Canals discount on the ICIO?

80%, and only on the part that corresponds to the solar system, under section 3.2 of article 7 of the ordinance. The installation must cover the whole building, be a home, and not be required by law. If it produces heat, the collectors must be certified.

When do you have to apply for the ICIO discount in Canals?

At the same time as the licence application. The ordinance defines it as non-automatic, and does not allow a later request. The town hall has up to six months to grant it, and if that time passes without a decision, the applicant may treat it as refused. That is why it travels inside the works file.

Who manages the tax on the building work in Canals?

The town hall itself. The ICIO ordinance states that tax management is carried out by the Ajuntament through its own competent administrative services, without delegating it to the Diputació. The ICIO rate in Canals is 4% of the real, actual cost of the work.
