How much will solar panels produce in Liège?
A 5 kWp system facing south at 35° tilt in Liège produces about 5,321 kWh a year. In a weak year that is 4,388 kWh, in a good one 6,254 kWh — 1,064 kWh per kWp.
That’s about 152% of a typical home’s yearly use (3,500 kWh).

Common questions
How much do solar panels produce in winter in Liège?
From November to February the system produces about 815 kWh, which is 15% of the year. The weakest month (December) gives roughly 136 kWh.
Is an east-west roof worth it in Liège?
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 Liège?
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.
