How much will solar panels produce in Padova?

A 6 kWp system facing south at 35° tilt in Padova produces about 8,458 kWh a year. In a weak year that is 7,057 kWh, in a good one 9,860 kWh — 1,410 kWh per kWp.

That’s about 313% of a typical home’s yearly use (2,700 kWh).

Common questions

How much do solar panels produce in winter in Padova?

From November to February the system produces about 1,745 kWh, which is 21% of the year. The weakest month (December) gives roughly 375 kWh.

Is an east-west roof worth it in Padova?

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 Padova?

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.
