- This chart shows solar insolation in kilowatt-hours per
square meter per day in many US locations. For simplicity, we call this figure
"Sun Hours / Day."
- To find the
average sun hours per day in your area look at the maps at the bottom of this page, or
find a city in the table below that has similar weather to your location.
- If you want year-round autonomy, use the lowest figure.
If you want only 100% autonomy in summer, use the highest figure.
