Solar coverage rate
open-in-new
<p>The solar coverage rate is the percentage of an amount of <a href="/facts/Energy/wd8PrQM7">energy</a> that is provided by the sun. This may be in reference to a <a href="/facts/Solar_water_heating/vfE7AWIT">solar thermal installation</a> or a <a href="/facts/Photovoltaic_system/rD4rcJB8">photovoltaic installation</a>, i.e. a calculation of solar heat, <a href="/facts/Electricity/hNC8D65W">electricity</a> or total energy produced. The observation period is typically one year. As a general rule, higher values represent improved <a href="/facts/Energy_efficiency_(physics)/gSqXlWoI">energy efficiency</a> and improved environmental outcomes. </p>
