Abstract: . . .  2000. These two scenarios are diametric snapshots of how photovoltaic production and electric demand interact. The next section calculates the statistical relationship over longer time periods. 2.3 Statistical Relationship to Electricity Demand The statistical relationship between photovoltaic generation and electric demand can be studied under various scenarios to determine photovoltaic capacity performance during periods of high electricity demand and certain months and times of day.

CONCLUSION These photovoltaic sites were located in a metropolitan area with some degree of shading and technical difficulties that affected the annual electricity generation performance and the relationship with electric demand to some degree. They do represent real-world operational data however and in this conservative analysis one of the sites showed strong results across all measures of performance. The RMT site had the least degree of shading . . .
