Answer

Is it worth installing solar panels on Mallorca if the payback takes years?

For many homes on Mallorca, solar can still make sense even if the return is slow, especially when daytime electricity use is high. Systems become more attractive when paired with battery storage or financial support, because that improves self-consumption and reduces dependence on peak prices. The exact value depends on the building, consumption pattern and installation costs.
