Solar panels in Ponte de Lima
Real PVGIS irradiance data for Ponte de Lima: 1,412 kWh/kWp/year, 31% lower than the Algarve, plus typical local costs and payback.
Ponte de Lima sits in the Alto Minho subregion of Northern Portugal. The oldest chartered town in Portugal, known for its Roman bridge and monthly riverside market. Minho Solar is based in this area.
Inland on the Lima river valley. Morning mist off the river is common but usually clears by mid-morning, and cooler valley temperatures help panel efficiency on hot summer afternoons.
Traditional granite-and-terracotta riverside houses with mixed roof orientations. South and southwest-facing pitches away from the tree-lined river avenues perform best.
