Why should you choose a solar panel system in Estonia?

A solar panel system will save you money on energy, and can also be used as a backup power source during power outages. The Estonian climate is favorable for solar energy production. The country experiences approximately 1600 hours of sunshine a year and the climate is relatively cool.

Can solar panels be installed on a flat roof in Estonia?

In Estonia, most solar panel installations are installed on pitched roofs. Ideally, the panels should be installed at a 41 degree angle on the south side of the building. If they are installed to the north, the panels will not generate electricity. Alternatively, flat roofs may also be installed with solar panels.

How much solar radiation does Estonia produce a year?

In Estonia, the amount of solar radiation is comparable to Central Europe; the average amount of radiation has an optimal slope and azimuth of 1100-1200 kWh/m2, 85% of which falls between April and October. An optimally installed 1 kW PV plant produces 900 to 1000 kWh of energy per year.

How much energy does a 1 KW solar plant produce?

An optimally installed 1 kW PV plant produces 900 to 1000 kWh of energy per year. The energy productivity of solar panels installed in Estonia is equivalent to the southern countries, as Estonia’s cooler climate increases the efficiency of solar panels.
