Best Cities for Solar Panels
Cities ranked by solar energy potential, combining clear days with optimal sun angles. These locations offer the best conditions for solar panel efficiency and energy production.
How We Calculate Solar Potential
Our solar score combines two key factors: annual clear days (more sunshine = more energy) and maximum sun altitude (higher sun angle = more direct rays on panels). Cities near the equator with clear skies score highest.
