How much will solar panels produce in Graz?

A 6 kWp system facing south at 35° tilt in Graz produces about 7,486 kWh a year. In a weak year that is 6,248 kWh, in a good one 8,724 kWh — 1,248 kWh per kWp.

That’s about 187% of a typical home’s yearly use (4,000 kWh).

Common questions

How much do solar panels produce in winter in Graz?

From November to February the system produces about 1,508 kWh, which is 20% of the year. The weakest month (December) gives roughly 302 kWh.

Is an east-west roof worth it in Graz?

An east-west system typically produces 10–25% less per kWp than one facing south, but spreads production more evenly through the day. The exact difference depends on tilt and shading.

Ground mount or roof in Graz?

A ground mount can be tilted and aimed freely, which can add some yield, but it costs more and needs space. Compare both for your own plot.
