Data on domestic shipments of photovoltaic cells and modules by market sector, end use, and type. Based on information reported on Form EIA-63B, “Annual Photovoltaic Cell/Module Shipments Report.” Shipments as reported by respondents are for terrestrial (land-based) use only. Shipments intended for applications in space programs (satellites, military projects, etc.) are excluded. Market Sector: Residential; Commercial; Industrial; Electric Power End use: Grid-connected Centralized PV System; Grid-connected Distributed PV System; Off-grid Domestic PV System; Off-grid Non-domestic PV System Type: Crystalline Silicon; Thin-Film; Concentrator
GIS data for Bhutan's direct normal irradiance (DNI), global horizontal irradiance (GHI), and latitude tilt irradiance. Researchers from NREL and the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center (ASRC) at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany developed the estimates of Bhutans solar resource. SUNY researchers generated the estimates of GHI and DNI using images collected at hourly intervals between December 2002 and January 2007 from the European Meteosat 5 and 7 geostationary satellites. NREL used the GHI data to generate estimates of the resource potential at latitude tilt, and to create the solar resource maps. This submission includes GIS resources of the results for this study. This data can be used to help with energy production and infrastructure planning in Bhutan.
Monthly, quarterly, and annual data on electricity generation, consumption, retail sales, price, revenue from retail sales, useful thermal output, fossil fuel stocks, fossil fuel receipts, and quality of fossil fuel. Data organized by fuel type, i.e., coal petroleum, natural gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal, and wood. Also, data organized by sector, i.e., electric power, electric utility, independent power producers, commercial, and industrial.

Berkeley Lab's Tracking the Sun report series is dedicated to summarizing installed prices and other trends among grid-connected, distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the United States. The present report, the 11th edition in the series, focuses on systems installed through year-end 2017, with preliminary trends for the first half of 2018. As in years past, the primary emphasis is on describing changes in installed prices over time and variation in pricing across projects based on location, project ownership, system design, and other attributes. New to this year, however, is an expanded discussion of other project characteristics in the large underlying data sample. Future editions will include more of such material, beyond the reports traditional focus on installed pricing. The trends described in this report derive primarily from project-level data reported to state agencies and utilities that administer PV incentive programs, solar renewable energy credit (SREC) registration systems, or interconnection processes. In total, data were collected and cleaned for more than 1.3 million individual PV systems, representing 81% of U.S. residential and non-residential PV systems installed through 2017. The analysis of installed pricing trends is based on a subset of roughly 770,000 systems with available installed price data.
Berkeley Labs "Utility-Scale Solar", 2022 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 developments in 2021, this report explores trends in deployment, technology, capital and operating costs, capacity factors, the levelized cost of solar energy (LCOE), power purchase agreement (PPA) prices, wholesale market value, and interconnection queue data.
