How much will solar panels produce in Limoges?

A 6 kWp system facing south at 35° tilt in Limoges produces about 7,504 kWh a year. In a weak year that is 6,292 kWh, in a good one 8,717 kWh — 1,251 kWh per kWp.

That’s about 160% of a typical home’s yearly use (4,700 kWh).

Common questions

How much do solar panels produce in winter in Limoges?

From November to February the system produces about 1,358 kWh, which is 18% of the year. The weakest month (December) gives roughly 270 kWh.

Is an east-west roof worth it in Limoges?

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 Limoges?

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.
