How much will solar panels produce in Almería?

A 5 kWp system facing south at 35° tilt in Almería produces about 8,846 kWh a year. In a weak year that is 7,415 kWh, in a good one 10,276 kWh — 1,769 kWh per kWp.

That’s about 268% of a typical home’s yearly use (3,300 kWh).

Common questions

How much do solar panels produce in winter in Almería?

From November to February the system produces about 2,395 kWh, which is 27% of the year. The weakest month (December) gives roughly 586 kWh.

Is an east-west roof worth it in Almería?

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 Almería?

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.
