How much of Aveiro is classified as urban or urbanisable land?

How much electricity could a solar panel generate in Aveiro?

In Aveiro, a standard 1 kWp solar panel system mounted at its optimal tilt would generate about 1,527 kWh of electricity per year (PVGIS-SARAH2, 2005..2020), modelled by the EU Joint Research Centre's PVGIS at the município's own interior point. This is a solar-yield estimate — how much electricity the sun could produce for a standard panel — not a price, and not a claim that any particular plot may be built on. Year to year, that yield varies by about ±57 kWh (the interannual standard deviation across the modelled years).
