Commercial solar payback in Molina de Segura: 3.4 years

A self-consuming 100 kWp array on a commercial roof in Molina de Segura typically pays back in about 3.4 years. That figure uses Molina de Segura's specific yield of 1,736 kWh per kWp per year and a commercial tariff near €0.22/kWh, with 70% of generation used on site.

At that yield the array produces about 173,600 kWh a year and saves roughly €26,734 annually against an installed cost near €90,000. Over 25 years the net saving is around €578,350, while avoiding about 60.8 tonnes of CO₂ each year.

Molina de Segura is in Region of Murcia, alongside Murcia, Cartagena and Lorca. Those towns share the same irradiance zone, so payback is similar — the difference is which warehouses and factories still have empty roof. SolarScout lists them with a pre-computed business case rather than a generic "solar is cheap" pitch.

How the Molina de Segura payback number is calculated

Start with 100 kWp × 1,736 kWh/kWp = 173,600 kWh of annual production on a representative warehouse or factory roof in Molina de Segura. Apply 70% self-consumption against €0.22 per kWh and you get about €26,734 a year. Divide the €900/kWp installed cost (€90,000 for 100 kWp) by that saving and payback lands at 3.4 years.

This is a worked example, not a quote. Real payback moves with self-consumption, shading, export tariff and installed cost. It is still the right first filter: if a roof in Molina de Segura cannot beat roughly 3.4 years on these inputs, it is probably not a priority lead.

Molina de Segura versus the rest of Spain

Relative to Spain as a whole, payback in Molina de Segura is about 0.4 years faster than the Spain average of 3.8 years. Spain has Europe’s strongest solar resource. High specific yields on industrial estates and logistics parks make commercial rooftop solar one of the best-returning energy investments on the continent.

That is why outreach in Molina de Segura should open with the local number — 3.4 years and €26,734 a year on 100 kWp — not a national average that under- or over-sells the roof.

What actually changes payback on a Molina de Segura roof

Yield is already baked into the 1,736 kWh/kWp zone for Region of Murcia. The bigger swings are usable roof area, daytime load (factories and cold stores self-consume more than empty warehouses) and whether the site pays the full €0.22/kWh commercial rate.

SolarScout estimates roof footprint from satellite and map data and, where Google Solar coverage exists, modelled annual output — so you can rank Molina de Segura sites by savings instead of guessing from a map pin.

Frequently asked questions

What is the commercial solar payback in Molina de Segura?

About 3.4 years for a self-consuming 100 kWp rooftop in Molina de Segura. That uses 1,736 kWh/kWp of local yield and a tariff near €0.22/kWh, saving around €26,734 a year.

How much electricity does 100 kWp produce in Molina de Segura?

Around 173,600 kWh a year. Multiply the 1,736 kWh/kWp specific yield for Region of Murcia by 100 kWp; shading and orientation can move that figure, which is why SolarScout models each roof rather than stopping at the city average.

Is payback in Molina de Segura better than nearby towns?

Payback is in the same band as Murcia, Cartagena and Lorca because they share the Region of Murcia irradiance zone. The practical difference is the stock of large, unshaded commercial roofs — SolarScout lists those in Molina de Segura with a pre-computed saving so you can compare sites, not just towns.
