262 Average Sunny Days per Year in Novato:
Optimal for Solar Panel Function

Where a solar panel installation is located has one of the greatest impacts on performance out of nearly any metric. Some studies found that solar panel energy production can change as much as 5% just based on location alone.

So, how well suited is Novato for solar panels?

Out of 365 days in the year, the city of Novato typically sees 262 sunny days every year, with an average 72 days' worth of precipitation. So, for roughly 72% of an average year, solar panel installations in Novato can operate at peak efficiency on sunny days - a 28% improvement over the rest of the country, which sees only 205 sunny days on average.

In fact, the state of California as a whole is generally one of the very best regions of the country to experience high levels of the solar radiation required for solar energy creation, per the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Novato’s High Urbanization Makes Solar Panels an Ideal Choice

Did you know that solar panel installations impact more than just your electric bills? In fact, the more urbanized the area, the greater an impact solar panels can have on local weather patterns.

One study found that solar panel installations on roofs reduced energy needed for air conditioning and cooling systems by 12%, while reducing the "urban heat island" effect that heats up cities and towns with high concrete rates.

Novato has a relatively high rate of urbanization, per official United States census records. Therefore, this area is particularly well suited for solar panel installations, especially for those businesses and homes that wish to reduce their AC bills and make their city homes a better place to live for all its residents.
