<p>This repository comprises 38 years-long hourly time series representing the photovoltaic (PV) capacity factors in every European country (EU-28 plus Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Norway, and Switzerland). The term capacity factor is defined as the ratio between the delivered power and the cumulative installed capacity (DC). 3 letter codes (ISO-3166-3) are used to identify the countries. Time series include years from 1979 to 2017.</p>
<p>To obtain PV time series irradiance from Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) dataset has been converted into electricity generation and aggregated at country level. The PV model used for the conversion is described in the article linked below. Prior to conversion, reanalysis irradiance is bias corrected using satellite-based SARAH dataset and a globally-applicable methodology, which is also described in the article.</p>
<p>For every country, four different time series assuming alternative PV configurations, <em>i.e</em>., rooftop, optimum tilt, 2-axis tracking, and delta are provided. To obtain the PV hourly capacity factors for a country, different assumptions on the shares of the alternative configurations can be made and the weighted time series can be aggregated accordingly.</p>
