Based on historical Cuba, AL data, solar panels that are tilted towards the equator at an angle equal to the latitude will produce the maximum solar energy output in Cuba. [1]
Cuba has an average monthly Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) of 4.6 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day), which is approximately 3% greater than the average monthly Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) of 4.47 kWh/m2/day. [1]
Solar installations in Cuba that are always titled at the latitude of Cuba (Average Tilt at Latitude or ATaL) average 5.14 kWh/m2/day, or about 12% greater than the average monthly GHI of 4.6 kWh/m2/day and approximately 15% greater than the average monthly DNI of 4.47 kWh/m2/day. [1]
Global Horizontal Irradiance: The total amount of solar radiation that is received per unit area by a surface that is always positioned in a horizontal manner.
Direct Normal Irradiance: The total amount of solar radiation received per unit area by a surface that is always perpendicular to the sun rays that come in a straight line from the direction of the sun at its current position in the sky.
Average Tilt at Latitude: The total amount of solar radiation received per unit area by a surface that is tilted toward the equator at an angle equal to the current latitude. ATaL will often produce the optimum energy output.

* Amounts listed in kWh/m2/day (kilowatt hours per square meter per day)
Cuba, AL has a average annual solar radiation value of 5.37 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day). [1]
The month with the highest historical solar radition values in Cuba is October with an average of 6.02 kWh/m2/day, followed by May at 5.78 kWh/m2/day and September at 5.75 kWh/m2/day. [1]
The three months that historically average the lowest average solar radiation levels in Cuba (Alabama) are December with an average of 4.44 kWh/m2/day, followed by January with an average of 4.46 kWh/m2/day and February at 5.05 kWh/m2/day. [1]
The average monthly solar radiation level in Cuba, AL, of 5.37 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day) is approximately 37% greater than the average level of 3.93 kWh/m2/day in a city with historically low levels (WA) and is approximately 19% less than the average level of 6.61 kWh/m2/day in a city with historically high levels (NV).
