How much will solar panels produce in Salzburg?

A 6 kWp system facing south at 35° tilt in Salzburg produces about 6,745 kWh a year. In a weak year that is 5,619 kWh, in a good one 7,871 kWh — 1,124 kWh per kWp.

That’s about 169% of a typical home’s yearly use (4,000 kWh).

Common questions

How much do solar panels produce in winter in Salzburg?

From November to February the system produces about 1,254 kWh, which is 19% of the year. The weakest month (December) gives roughly 223 kWh.

Is an east-west roof worth it in Salzburg?

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 Salzburg?

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.
