Abstract

We provide an update on the US distribution of PV's Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELLC) by analyzing recent load data from 39 US utilities and time-coincident output of PV installations simulated from high resolution, time/site-specific satellite data. Results show that overall regional trends identified in the early 1990s remain pertinent today, while noting a significant increase in PV ELCC the Western and Northern US, and a modest decrease in the central and eastern US.
