600W Solar Panel Production in Santiago
A single 600W solar panel in Santiago is estimated to generate approximately 810 kWh of electricity per year, averaging 2.22 kWh daily. This is a temporary planning estimate while the PVWatts provider is unavailable.
PVWatts data is temporarily unavailable for this page.
The calculator below is using a conservative latitude-based seasonal estimate so you can keep planning. Use it for early sizing, then rerun the page before accepting a final supplier quote.

Estimated annual AC electricity from one 600W panel after modelled system losses.
Annual value at about CLP 403/kWh, capped to the electricity use you can actually offset.
47 kWh from one 600W panel; check this month before sizing essential loads.
Roof fit
Confirm usable roof planes, shading, inverter limits, and battery needs before accepting a final layout.
Bill fit
Adjust panel count and monthly use above so savings are capped to electricity you can offset.
Quote check
Ask suppliers to show winter output, assumed losses, and any export-credit value separately.

Model basis
The model uses north-facing panels at 33° tilt, true north orientation, and 14% system loss. Typical 600 kWh/month electricity costs are $229,000 - $254,000 (typically $242,000) using 2024-2025 cost data.
Provider-backed PVWatts data could not be loaded, so these monthly values use a latitude-based seasonal estimate until the provider is available again.
