Based on historical Ceres, CA data, solar panels that are tilted toward the equator at an angle equal to the current latitude will produce the maximum solar energy output in Ceres. [1]
Ceres has an average monthly Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) of 5.19 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day), which is approximately 12% less than the average monthly Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) of 5.88 kWh/m2/day. [1]
Solar installations in Ceres that are always titled at the latitude of Ceres (Average Tilt at Latitude or ATaL) average 5.88 kWh/m2/day, or about 13% greater than the average monthly GHI of 5.19 kWh/m2/day and approximately equal to the average monthly DNI of 5.88 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)
Ceres, CA has a average annual solar radiation value of 5.99 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day). [1]
The month with the highest historical solar radition values in Ceres is August with an average of 7.5 kWh/m2/day, followed by July at 7.38 kWh/m2/day and September at 7.26 kWh/m2/day. [1]
The three months that historically average the lowest average solar radiation levels in Ceres (California) are January with an average of 3.72 kWh/m2/day, followed by December with an average of 3.91 kWh/m2/day and February at 4.38 kWh/m2/day. [1]
The average monthly solar radiation level in Ceres, CA, of 5.99 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day) is approximately 52% greater than the average level of 3.93 kWh/m2/day in a city with historically low levels (WA) and is approximately 9% less than the average level of 6.61 kWh/m2/day in a city with historically high levels (NV).
