How much will solar panels produce in Murcia?

A 5 kWp system facing south at 35° tilt in Murcia produces about 8,529 kWh a year. In a weak year that is 7,148 kWh, in a good one 9,909 kWh — 1,706 kWh per kWp.

That’s about 258% of a typical home’s yearly use (3,300 kWh).

Common questions

How much do solar panels produce in winter in Murcia?

From November to February the system produces about 2,301 kWh, which is 27% of the year. The weakest month (December) gives roughly 558 kWh.

Is an east-west roof worth it in Murcia?

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 Murcia?

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.
