…in a 500m x 1,500m array in Hawaii. We want to use this data-site to understand the typical second-by-second volatility of solar output from a solar plant. $399.00 – Purchase Checkout Added…
Forecasts for future solar capacity growth have an unsatisfyingly uncertain range, varying by 3x. Hence this 15-page note discusses the future of solar. Solar capacity additions likely accelerate 3.5x by…
Solar encapsulants are 300-500μm thick films, protecting solar cells from moisture, dirt and degradation; electrically insulating them at 4 x 10^15 Ωcm resistivity; and yet allowing 90% light transmittance. The…
This data-file aggregates wind and solar statistical distributions, plotting solar generation and wind generation, every 5-minutes, across California, for the entirety of 2022, in order to understand their volatility and…
The average solar asset declines at 2.5% per year. This 14-page note reviews the causes of solar decline rates. We find humid climates moderate Potential Induced Degradation, adding a relative…
…is the solar over-built? Two-thirds of all the solar generated over the year had to be be exported to the grid. It raises the question of how much solar a…
…market for 1-2 years. (data here) Evaluating volcano impacts on solar power is not intended as an argument against solar. We need more solar in a decarbonizing energy system (research…
How much does solar energy vary by year in typical locations? To answer this question, this data-file aggregates the average annual volatility of solar (and wind) resources across ten locations,…
