Abstract

Project Summary: We ran PySAM power production simulations for utility-scale (>5 MW) PV sites located in the U.S. Eastern Interconnection in the year 2021. Site panel mounts (fixed-tilt or single-axis tracking), capacities, and locations (latitudes and longitudes) were extracted from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Utility-Scale Solar 2024 Edition dataset.
