Solar energy potential in Córdoba

As we well know, the same amount of photovoltaic energy is not produced in the north of Europe as in the south of the continent, and the same thing happens in Spain with the cities of the north and those of the south. Córdoba is a privileged city thanks to the number of hours of sunshine (3,316) and the high solar irradiation of 5.9 kWh/m2. This results in high photovoltaic energy production in homes and businesses, and therefore their solar energy potential.

In Córdoba, the Red Eléctrica de España (REE) indicates that Spanish households consume an average of 9 kWh per day and approximately 270 kWh per month, which represents about 3,240 kWh/year. In addition, the REE has also indicated that electricity prices from the grid in 2021-2022 have averaged around €0.225/kWh (€225/MWh), so that a household without a solar energy system that consumes monthly from the network these 270 kWh would pay around €60 per month on your bill, in the variable part of electricity consumption.

Inclination and orientation of the solar panels in Córdoba

In Spain, the ideal average inclination of the panels varies between 20º and 40º since it is directly related to the latitude of the country. The closer a city is to the equator, the less the angle of inclination of the panels will be, since the sun's rays will strike perpendicularly.

The perfect inclination in Córdoba to achieve maximum performance of the solar panels should be about 34º and the orientation towards the south.

Solar panels facing south in Córdoba will produce the most energy, but if you want to place the modules facing east or west it is also worth it, especially if you need to cover electricity needs at home or business in the morning or in the afternoon, increasing the home's own electricity consumption.
