- anton96 4y agoBecause at best, Renewables run at 20% percent of their installed capacity comparing to more 80% for nuclear.
- kolinko 4y agoYou are confusing efficiency with some other metrics. Solar is 20%, but there is no point comparing it to efficiency of gas or nuclear - it's apples to oranges.
- anton96 4y agoIt totally makes sense because you always compare price of installation against a certain installed capacity in TW. I was not speaking of the efficiency of transforming 20% of the sun energy into electricity.
- kolinko 4y agoSo what that 20% means in case of solar? Utilisation factor also doesn’t make sense - what matters is how many GWh you van get per dollar of installation, but you don’t measure this in %.
