The municipality of Loulé is working towards becoming more sustainable. Many Algarve residents are already benefiting from their own solar energy!
That’s why we’re sharing some key information for those considering installing solar panels in Loulé.
Would you like to find out if you, too, can soon benefit from solar energy?
Loulé benefits from one of the sunniest climates in Portugal, with long hours of sunshine throughout the year. This factor enhances the efficiency and productivity of photovoltaic systems, making solar energy an even more attractive and profitable investment.
The ideal orientation for solar panels in Loulé is facing south. However, if they are positioned towards the east or west, the losses are not significantly high. Since the Algarve is located at a latitude of 37º, the optimal installation angle for solar panels on the roof should also be around 37º. However, adjusting the angle slightly—steeper in winter (up to +15º) and flatter in summer (up to -15º)—can help maximize energy production during different seasons.
Solar irradiation levels, the chosen tilt angle, and roof conditions significantly impact energy production capacity. It is also essential to consider the size of the photovoltaic system and the quality of the installed equipment. For example, integrating solar batteries affects how much of the generated energy can be effectively stored and used, increasing self-consumption and reducing dependence on the grid.

To carry out a photovoltaic installation, the property owner must obtain certain licenses. At Voltaicos, we take care of all the necessary inquiries and requests to ensure that the photovoltaic installation complies with regulations.
Studies indicate that solar panels can increase the value of a house, although this depends on several factors, such as the expected durability of the panels and the quality of their components. While it is not guaranteed that every photovoltaic installation will increase property value, it is safe to say that a well-executed installation with high-quality materials is likely to be advantageous when selling.
Keeping your photovoltaic system in good condition is crucial for the performance of the panels. An occasional cleaning with water and a brush is enough to keep them functioning optimally.
In Loulé, as well as the rest of Portugal, anyone who produces photovoltaic energy can choose the energy supplier to sell their excess energy. Although the rates paid per kWh in Portugal are lower than in other countries (around €0.07/kWh, depending on the supplier), this sale still contributes to additional monthly savings.
The Algarve has huge potential for the development of solar energy. In addition to these advantages, there is also the sense of autonomy provided by the installation of solar panels, allowing greater control over energy costs in a scenario of unpredictable prices.
Yes, with enough roof space and solar exposure, solar panels can potentially meet most or all of a home’s electricity needs through solar production.
The number of solar panels needed in Loulé depends on your home’s energy consumption and the available roof space. Installers can perform calculations to determine your needs. For expert guidance and to calculate the ideal number of panels, access our free simulator.
