Based on historical Blue Earth, MN data, solar panels that are tilted towards the equator at an angle equal to the latitude will produce the maximum solar energy output in Blue Earth. [1]
Blue Earth has an average monthly Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) of 3.88 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day), which is approximately 6% less than the average monthly Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) of 4.14 kWh/m2/day. [1]
Solar installations in Blue Earth that are always titled at the latitude of Blue Earth (Average Tilt at Latitude or ATaL) average 4.55 kWh/m2/day, or about 17% greater than the average monthly GHI of 3.88 kWh/m2/day and approximately 10% greater than the average monthly DNI of 4.14 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)
Blue Earth, MN has a average annual solar radiation value of 4.77 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day). [1]
The month with the highest historical solar radition values in Blue Earth is July with an average of 6.47 kWh/m2/day, followed by August at 5.87 kWh/m2/day and June at 5.83 kWh/m2/day. [1]
The three months that historically average the lowest average solar radiation levels in Blue Earth (Minnesota) are December with an average of 2.89 kWh/m2/day, followed by January with an average of 3.16 kWh/m2/day and November at 3.64 kWh/m2/day. [1]
The average monthly solar radiation level in Blue Earth, MN, of 4.77 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day) is approximately 21% greater than the average level of 3.93 kWh/m2/day in a city with historically low levels (WA) and is approximately 28% less than the average level of 6.61 kWh/m2/day in a city with historically high levels (NV).
