Data and analysis are needed to understand the variability of photovoltaic (PV) plants to avoid unnecessary barriers to the interconnection of PV. Several data sets show clouds can cause rapid changes in solar insolation.

Installations of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems in the United States have increased dramatically in recent years, growing from less than 20 MW in 2000 to nearly 500 MW at the end of 2007, a compound average annual growth rate of 59%.
Among the available options for encouraging the increased deployment of renewable electricity, renewables portfolio standards (RPS) have become increasingly popular.
Worldwide interest in the deployment of photovoltaic generation (PV) is rapidly increasing. Operating experience with large PV plants, however, demonstrates that large, rapid changes in the output of PV plants are possible.
Relatively little research exists estimating the marginal impacts of photovoltaic (PV) energy systems on home sale prices.
Why Are Residential PV Prices in Germany So Much Lower Than in the United States? A Scoping Analysis
This report looks at the reasons for cheaper PV systems in Germany comparing to the ones in the US.
As the deployment of grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has increased, so too has the desire to track the installed price of these systems over time and by location, customer type, and system characteristics.
As renewable technologies mature, recognizing and evaluating their economic value will become increasingly important for justifying their expanded use. This report reviews a recent sample of U.S.
This report presents results from the first U.S.
The Working Group III Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation (SRREN) presents an assessment of the literature on the scientific, technological, environmental, economic and social aspects of the contribution of si
