* Amounts listed in kWh/m2/day (kilowatt hours per square meter per day).
* See glossary & definitions below.
Based on historical 06016 data, solar panels that are tilted towards the equator at an angle equal to the latitude will produce the maximum solar energy output in 06016. [1]
The region associated with 06016 has an average monthly Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) of 3.84 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day), which is approximately 4% greater than the average monthly Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) of 3.71 kWh/m2/day. [1]
Solar installations in 06016 that are always titled at the latitude of Broad Brook (Average Tilt at Latitude or ATaL) average 4.52 kWh/m2/day, or about 18% greater than the average monthly GHI of 3.84 kWh/m2/day and approximately 22% greater than the average monthly DNI of 3.71 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)
The region associated with 06016 has a average annual solar radiation value of 4.32 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day). [1]
The month with the highest historical solar radition values in 06016 is June with an average of 5.41 kWh/m2/day, followed by July at 5.28 kWh/m2/day and August at 5.18 kWh/m2/day. [1]
The three months that historically average the lowest average solar radiation levels in 06016 are December with an average of 2.64 kWh/m2/day, followed by November with an average of 2.91 kWh/m2/day and January at 3.21 kWh/m2/day. [1]
The average monthly solar radiation level in 06016, of 4.32 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day) is approximately 16% greater than the average level of 3.73 kWh/m2/day in a city with historically low levels (WA) and is approximately 35% less than the average level of 6.6 kWh/m2/day in a city with historically high levels (NV).
