Berkeley Labs "Utility-Scale Solar", 2021 Edition presents analysis of empirical plant-level data from the U.S. fleet of ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV), PV+battery, and concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) plants with capacities exceeding 5 MWAC. While focused on key developm...

The Solar Energy Environmental Mapper is a web-based application that displays environmental data for the southwest U.S. in the context of utility-scale solar energy development. It provides access to screening-level data about resources and constraints, with analysis tools to he...

This dataset is part of a larger internal dataset at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) that explores various characteristics of large solar electric (both PV and CSP) facilities around the United States. This dataset focuses on the land use characteristics for solar ...

This dataset presents summary information related to world solar energy. It is part of a supporting dataset for the book World On the Edge: How to Prevent Environmental and Economic Collapse by Lester R. Brown, available from the [Earth Policy Institute](http://www.earth-policy.or...

The database is a compilation of existing cost data for wind, solar photovoltaic (solar PV), solar thermal (CSP), and geothermal energy technologies, including historical costs and projected costs for each. The data sources and references used to compile this information are inclu...

Solar thermal devices use direct heat from the sun, concentrating it in some manner to produce heat at useful temperatures. The modern solar industry began with the oil embargo of 1973-1974 and was strengthened with the second embargo in 1979. The growth of the solar industr...

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) publishes a wide selection of data and statistics on renewable energy power technologies from a variety of sources (e.g. EIA, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory, EPRI and AWEA). In 2006, NREL published the 4th ...

These data provide the 2022 update of the Electricity Annual Technology Baseline (ATB). Starting in 2015 NREL has presented the ATB, consisting of detailed cost and performance data, both current and projected, for electricity generation and storage technologies. The ATB products ...

Starting in 2015 NREL has presented the Annual Technology Baseline (ATB) in an Excel workbook that contains detailed cost and performance data, both current and projected, for renewable and conventional technologies. The workbook includes a spreadsheet for each technology. This ve...

This Dataset contains field research raw data, analysis spreadsheet, photos, and final report from the Hathaway Solar Patriot House Building America Case Study project.

These estimates are derived from the best available solar resource data available to NREL. Resources are organized by class and country. Resolution varies spatially from 1 km to 1 degree (approximately 100 km) depending on the data source. High spatial resolution datasets (1 km...

The Hathaway Solar Patriot House was a Building America field research case study from 2001 to 2004. A report on this project is available in this record or from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy05osti/37731.pdf

The Solar Metrics Online Portal collects data from teams participating in the Rooftop Solar Challenge (RSC II). The data is collected from each jurisdiction on a team over three time periods (past, present, and future). The data collected is used to calculate a team’s market mat...
