This chart shows solar isolation in kilowatt-hours per square meter per day in many US locations. For simplicity, we call this figure "Sun Hours / Day".

To find average sun hours per day in your area (column 5), check local weather data, 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.
