Capture factor dashboard for solar and wind
What capture factor means, how it is calculated, and what you can explore in the live dashboard for solar and wind.
What is capture factor?
The capture factor is a dimensionless ratio comparing the price a technology actually realizes to the market’s average price over the same period. Roughly: capture factor = capture price / average market price. Values above 1.0 indicate outperformance versus the market average; values below 1.0 indicate underperformance.
What’s in the dashboard
The live dashboard provides monthly time series for two variables: PV capture factor and wind capture factor. Data coverage:
