How much will solar panels produce in Brugge?

A 5 kWp system facing south at 35° tilt in Brugge produces about 5,535 kWh a year. In a weak year that is 4,605 kWh, in a good one 6,465 kWh — 1,107 kWh per kWp.

That’s about 158% of a typical home’s yearly use (3,500 kWh).

Common questions

How much do solar panels produce in winter in Brugge?

From November to February the system produces about 851 kWh, which is 15% of the year. The weakest month (December) gives roughly 152 kWh.

Is an east-west roof worth it in Brugge?

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 Brugge?

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.
