Based on historical Atlanta, LA data, solar panels that are tilted towards the equator at an angle equal to the latitude will produce the maximum solar energy output in Atlanta. [1]
Atlanta has an average monthly Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) of 4.57 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day), which is approximately 4% greater than the average monthly Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) of 4.4 kWh/m2/day. [1]
Solar installations in Atlanta that are always titled at the latitude of Atlanta (Average Tilt at Latitude or ATaL) average 5.06 kWh/m2/day, or about 11% greater than the average monthly GHI of 4.57 kWh/m2/day and approximately 15% greater than the average monthly DNI of 4.4 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)
Atlanta, LA has a average annual solar radiation value of 5.3 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day). [1]
The month with the highest historical solar radition values in Atlanta is September with an average of 5.88 kWh/m2/day, followed by August at 5.77 kWh/m2/day and October at 5.74 kWh/m2/day. [1]
The three months that historically average the lowest average solar radiation levels in Atlanta (Louisiana) are December with an average of 4.19 kWh/m2/day, followed by January with an average of 4.46 kWh/m2/day and February at 4.5 kWh/m2/day. [1]
The average monthly solar radiation level in Atlanta, LA, of 5.3 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day) is approximately 35% greater than the average level of 3.93 kWh/m2/day in a city with historically low levels (WA) and is approximately 20% less than the average level of 6.61 kWh/m2/day in a city with historically high levels (NV).
