Abstract
Solar power is expected to account for a considerable proportion of domestic renewable energy compared to other renewable energy sources. In this study, capacity credits, which are the most important factors for evaluating the effective capacity of photovoltaic power, are estimated by capacity factor-based approximation method. To do this, we use the data of solar power generation and capacity over many years and calculate the capacity factors of the domestic solar power. The results of the existing methods and ours proposed in this paper are compared and analyzed.
