How much will solar panels produce in Linz?

A 6 kWp system facing south at 35° tilt in Linz produces about 6,954 kWh a year. In a weak year that is 5,810 kWh, in a good one 8,098 kWh — 1,159 kWh per kWp.

That’s about 174% of a typical home’s yearly use (4,000 kWh).

Common questions

How much do solar panels produce in winter in Linz?

From November to February the system produces about 1,119 kWh, which is 16% of the year. The weakest month (December) gives roughly 216 kWh.

Is an east-west roof worth it in Linz?

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 Linz?

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.
