Based on historical Raymond, WA data, solar panels that are tilted towards the equator at an angle equal to the latitude will produce the maximum solar energy output in Raymond. [1]
Raymond has an average monthly Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) of 3.2 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day), which is approximately 11% greater than the average monthly Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) of 2.88 kWh/m2/day. [1]
Solar installations in Raymond that are always titled at the latitude of Raymond (Average Tilt at Latitude or ATaL) average 3.68 kWh/m2/day, or about 15% greater than the average monthly GHI of 3.2 kWh/m2/day and approximately 28% greater than the average monthly DNI of 2.88 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)
Raymond, WA has a average annual solar radiation value of 3.8 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day). [1]
The month with the highest historical solar radition values in Raymond is July with an average of 5.69 kWh/m2/day, followed by August at 5.15 kWh/m2/day and June at 5.01 kWh/m2/day. [1]
The three months that historically average the lowest average solar radiation levels in Raymond (Washington) are December with an average of 1.81 kWh/m2/day, followed by January with an average of 1.85 kWh/m2/day and November at 2.2 kWh/m2/day. [1]
The average monthly solar radiation level in Raymond, WA, of 3.8 kilowatt hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day) is approximately 3% less than the average level of 3.93 kWh/m2/day in a city with historically low levels (WA) and is approximately 43% less than the average level of 6.61 kWh/m2/day in a city with historically high levels (NV).
