Is there a website where I can get data on how much sunlight hits particular
areas? Let's say I wanted to see how many sunny days there in allentown, pa
per year. I'm thinking about getting land for a cabin and using solar energy
to power it. I'd like to see if theres enough sun to power it modestly.

thx

You may find the PV FAQ of some use, specifically Question #5.
05) How much sunlight do I get at my location?
