Is it a good idea to go solar in Almería?

Almería gets an average of 320 days of sunshine every year. Compare that to Paris (160 sunny days) or London (145 sunny days) and you can see why Almería is one of the best places to go solar in Europe!

According to climate data, Almería gets 6.02 peak solar hours per day – that’s the number of hours when the sun is strong enough for solar panels to perform at peak output. In summer, it’s over 7 hours of full sun per day, meaning you can power your home for longer using nothing but solar energy.

To get the best results, solar panels in Almería should be tilted at around 32 degrees and face south. With this setup, you can expect to cut your electricity bills by 80% or more over the year.

Of course, savings will be highest in summer and a little lower in winter, but the financial benefits are huge.

That said, every home is different. Your roof’s angle, direction, and any shading from nearby buildings or trees all affect how much energy you can generate. In some cases, the best setup might be installing panels on a carport or even in your garden to get the most sun.
