How much will solar panels produce in Eindhoven?

A 4 kWp system facing south at 35° tilt in Eindhoven produces about 4,239 kWh a year. In a weak year that is 3,504 kWh, in a good one 4,973 kWh — 1,060 kWh per kWp.

That’s about 151% of a typical home’s yearly use (2,800 kWh).

Common questions

How much do solar panels produce in winter in Eindhoven?

From November to February the system produces about 624 kWh, which is 15% of the year. The weakest month (December) gives roughly 99 kWh.

Is an east-west roof worth it in Eindhoven?

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 Eindhoven?

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.
