Common questions

How much do solar panels produce in winter in Palma de Mallorca?

From November to February the system produces about 2,048 kWh, which is 25% of the year. The weakest month (December) gives roughly 476 kWh.

Is an east-west roof worth it in Palma de Mallorca?

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 Palma de Mallorca?

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.
