The amount of electricity that a solar system produces depends on several factors. These include the size of the system, the efficiency of the solar modules, the solar radiation at the location and the orientation and inclination of the solar modules. Under ideal conditions, a well-planned solar system can generate a considerable amount of electricitythat can be used both for self-consumption and for feeding into the grid.

In regions with high levels of solar radiation, a solar system can generate between 900 and 1,300 kilowatt hours of electricity per installed kilowatt peak (kWp) per year. The exact output varies depending on the geographical location and the efficiency of the installed modules. Modern solar modules have a high degree of efficiency and can still produce electricity even in cloudy weather or indirect sunlight.

By combining this with a battery storage system, the surplus electricity produced can also be stored for later, which increases energy independence. This is particularly advantageous as it minimizes dependence on external energy suppliers and maximizes self-consumption.

A well-planned solar system can cover the entire electricity requirements of a household or business and also feed surplus energy into the public grid, which is additionally rewarded by feed-in tariffs. With the right dimensions and orientation, your solar system will become an efficient and sustainable source of energy.
