Assuming you can modify the tilt angle of your solar PV panels throughout the year, you can optimize your solar generation in Lisbon, Portugal as follows: In Summer, set the angle of your panels to 23° facing South. In Autumn, tilt panels to 43° facing South for maximum generation.
Seasonal solar PV output for Latitude: 38.731, Longitude: -9.1373 (Lisbon, Portugal), based on our analysis of 8760 hourly intervals of solar and meteorological data (one whole year) retrieved for that set of coordinates/location from NASA POWER (The Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources) API: Average 7.69kWh/day in Summer.
Lisbon, Portugal is a suitable location for generating solar power throughout the year. The average daily energy production per kW of installed solar capacity varies by season: 7.69 kWh in summer, 4.52 kWh in autumn, 2.66 kWh in winter, and 6.41 kWh in spring.
all available roofs had PV, the solar electricity produced would represent 95% of the city’s electricity consumption in 2016. 4 MW PV installed in Lisbon, of which 23% were licenced under the microgeneration regime, 42% under the mini-generation regime and 35% in the self-consumption regime.
