Good to know: South-facing roofs with a tilt of about 30° provide the highest annual yields. Slight deviations like southeast or southwest still achieve excellent results.

FAQ

How is solar yield calculated?
The calculation is based on your location’s solar radiation data, available roof area, panel efficiency, and roof orientation and tilt.
Why does roof orientation matter?
The more directly sunlight hits the panels, the more electricity they produce. South-facing roofs are ideal.
How does the tilt angle affect yield?
A tilt of around 30–35° is optimal for year-round solar production. Flatter or steeper roofs have slightly lower efficiency.
What is panel performance per square meter?
Modern solar panels typically deliver 150–220 Wp per square meter. High-efficiency panels can exceed 220 Wp/m².
How accurate are the calculations?
Our estimates are based on climate data and simplified models. Local weather variations can influence actual yields.
