干旱区生态环境知识资源中心

Solfocus has been operating a 1 MW CPV site at Victor Valley College in the southern Mojave Desert of California for over 21 months. Data gathered from site monitoring equipment as well as from nearby weather stations has enabled a detailed analysis of energy production and an in-depth evaluation of our energy prediction model. This paper reviews the results of this analysis, and presents our detailed findings on the relationships between energy production and several environmental factors such as wind speed and humidity.
