Take a representative 100 kWp array on a mid-sized warehouse or factory roof in Póvoa de Varzim. At the local specific yield of 1,470 kWh/kWp it generates about 147,000 kWh a year. With roughly 70% self-consumed against a €0.20/kWh tariff, that is around €20,580 saved annually.
Against an installed cost near €90,000, the system pays back in about 4.4 years and delivers in the region of €424,500 of net savings over a 25-year life — while avoiding roughly 51.5 tonnes of CO₂ every year.
These figures scale with roof size: many local logistics and manufacturing sites carry 250–1,000 kWp of usable roof, multiplying both the savings and the value of the lead.
