Beyond site suitability: Investigating temporal variability for utility-scale solar-PV using soft computing techniques

Site suitability is highly essential for utility-scale solar-PV exploration, however, beyond this phase, the need to investigate solar resource variability in suitable site is very vital to strategic planning and grid-integration. This study investigates solar resource variability in a suitable site obtained from geographical information system (GIS)-based site suitability analysis using soft computing techniques. The Western Cape Province,...
