>Capacity factor: The ratio of the electrical energy produced by a generating unit for the period of time considered to the electrical energy that could have been produced at continuous full power operation during the same period. For solar/wind, this can literally never be 100%, or even close to it. For Coal/Nuclear/Gas it just comes down to maintenance duration.
