An 8kW PV array in Fairbanks, AK situated with 180° azimuth, and 65° tilt would generate roughly the following monthly output:
January: 148kWh
February: 449 kWh
March: 901 kWh
April: 1,200 kWh
May: 1,078 kWh
June: 977 kWh
July: 939 kWh
August: 892 kWh
September: 650 kWh
October: 471 kWh
November: 244 kWh
December: 37 kWh
December is going to be tough... Modifying the tilt to 87° only adds 2kWh to December.
I generated this data using PV Watts on the nrel.gov website.
