Sun hours in Frankfurt (Oder)
How sunny is Frankfurt (Oder)? Over a year the sun delivers 1,310 kilowatt-hours onto every square metre here — in June roughly 5 times as much per day as in December. “Sun hours” has two meanings: the weather report counts how long the sun shines. For solar power what matters is how much energy arrives — and that is what this page shows, as peak sun hours (hours of full sun power).
For solar planning this means: an optimally tilted, south-facing array (35°) harvests an annual average of 3.59 peak sun hours per day in Frankfurt (Oder). In 9 out of 10 years at least 1,219 kWh/m² are reached. All values are computed from this location’s satellite hourly data, not estimated.

Optimal tilt angle in Frankfurt (Oder)
The annual optimum for Frankfurt (Oder) is 40° south; anything between 25° and 52° counts as equivalent (below 2% difference). For winter operation (off-grid) 70° is optimal, for summer use 25°. Flat-laid modules lose 16.3 % versus the optimum. Adjusting twice a year would add 2.7 % here, monthly adjustment 3.4 % — only relevant for adjustable mounts.
Is a balcony solar kit worth it in Frankfurt (Oder)?
A vertical south-facing railing in Frankfurt (Oder) harvests 954 kWh/m² per year — 73 % of what an optimally tilted 35° panel yields at the same spot. December softens the penalty: with the low winter sun, the vertical plane reaches 119 % of the 35° December value, computed from the same hourly data with its own plane transposition.
