Are solar availability assumptions too optimistic?

Solar Availability is generally a controllable loss, but yet there can be material losses. This webinar will present three recent studies on this topic from three different organizations: NREL, kWh Analytics and DNV to describe what availability losses are realistically achievable. Variations in these values by plant size and other characteristics will be described.

The on-dmand webinar is intended for solar developers, financiers, manufacturers, and asset managers. After the webinar, attendees will have answers to the following questions:

• What will DNV’s new availability loss assumption be?
• What type of data went into determining this new availability loss?
• How does DNV’s analysis compare with NREL and kWh Analytics?
