Throughout the year, LA gets over 3,000 hours of sunshine. In the summertime, the city gets over 6 hours of full sun a day, and in the winter, the number’s still high at over 5 hours of sun a day. The daily average over the course of a year is 5.62 hours. All that sun means solar panels in LA can pump out more power. If you look at the back of a solar panel, it lists a “maximum power rating,” or how much power the panels produce under ideal conditions.
