How much will solar panels produce in Genova?

A 6 kWp system facing south at 35° tilt in Genova produces about 8,330 kWh a year. In a weak year that is 6,966 kWh, in a good one 9,694 kWh — 1,388 kWh per kWp.

That’s about 309% of a typical home’s yearly use (2,700 kWh).

Common questions

How much do solar panels produce in winter in Genova?

From November to February the system produces about 1,625 kWh, which is 19% of the year. The weakest month (December) gives roughly 340 kWh.

Is an east-west roof worth it in Genova?

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 Genova?

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.
