With over 2,050 kWh/m² of annual solar irradiance — nearly double the UK average — Malta is one of the most productive solar environments in Europe. A standard 3kWp system generates approximately 4,500–5,000 kWh per year.
Malta’s net metering scheme lets you export surplus electricity back to the grid and receive bill credits.
Malta Enterprise offers substantial grants to reduce upfront installation costs.

Solar PV is just the start. A fully optimised home energy system combines generation, storage, hot water, and transport charging into one joined-up setup.
A solar thermal system can cover 70–80% of your annual hot water needs in Malta’s climate.
Store surplus solar energy generated during the day and use it at night. Dramatically reduce or eliminate your Enemalta bill.
Complete the renewable loop — charge your electric vehicle overnight using solar energy stored in your battery.
A home battery transforms your solar system from a daytime-only benefit into round-the-clock energy independence. Charge during the day, power your home at night — and watch your Enemalta bill shrink to almost nothing.

Malta offers some of the most generous solar incentives in Europe. Use the calculator below to find out exactly what you can claim.
Answer four quick questions and we’ll calculate your exact grant entitlement and estimated net cost after all Malta Enterprise incentives.
Malta’s solar market has matured significantly over the past five years. Panels are cheaper, inverters are smarter, and the grant structure has improved — but the installation landscape remains patchy. Not every company quoting on your job is equally competent.
Our reviewers have spoken with dozens of homeowners across Malta and Gozo who’ve made the switch. The consistent findings: system sizing is often mis-sold, and post-installation service varies enormously. The installers who stand out complete ERA permit work before installation day, provide detailed shading analysis, and offer genuine 10-year workmanship warranties.
On the technology side, monocrystalline PERC panels currently offer the best efficiency-to-cost ratio for Malta’s conditions. Battery storage from Huawei LUNA, GoodWe, and SolarEdge are performing well in field conditions here. If a salesperson is pushing a brand you’ve never heard of with unusually low pricing — that’s a flag worth raising before signing anything.
