Estimated from latitude. Panel tilt 25° (best for this place).

Estimates only, not a quote. Real output depends on shading, weather, panel quality and installation. Savings count solar power you use yourself at today's price, rising 3% a year, with panels losing 0.5% a year.

How it works

Use the solar production calculator in 3 steps

  1. STEP 1

    Enter your panels

    Type the number of panels and their wattage from the label, for example 10 panels of 550 W.

  2. STEP 2

    Set the location and angle

    Search your city, then keep the best angle or set the real tilt and the direction your roof faces.

  3. STEP 3

A 550 W panel makes about 2 to 2.8 kWh a day in sunny places and 1.2 to 1.6 kWh in northern Europe. Enter your city to see the figure for your location.

Panel watts × peak sun hours × (1 − losses). For example 550 W × 5 hours × 0.86 ≈ 2.4 kWh a day. The calculator uses month-by-month sunlight data for your place.

Yes. Panels facing the equator (south in the northern hemisphere) produce the most. East or west roofs usually make 10–20% less. Pick your direction to compare.

14% is typical for a clean, unshaded system. Use 20–25% if there is partial shade, a lot of dust, or long cable runs.
