Theoretically, you can bet that your traditional power plant only runs at night. But now your capacity factor is less than half the available hours for the same capital investment and it looks even bleaker.
- gpapilion 4y agoThis is where I think it probably should be. Solar w/o another generation or storage source doesn't accurately represent the full picture of what is really required to support the a whole day of electricity. So the combined total cost is probably what should be shown to represent the costs of a full day cycle of solar, or a rainy day.
