In this lesson we continue making connections between the technical information on solar resource and system design with project economics.
Then, we also collect various weather and climate information about the locale. Some supporting information is available from the TMY data, environmental monitoring stations, or direct measurements. Seasons may look different in different climate zones. How do we relate all that information to the SECS performance?
Those characteristics of the locale are not just FYI. We are trying to reveal their economic impact on system performance, payback, and return on investment for our client.
We will revisit some of the previous topics in Yellowdig (maybe at somewhat different angle) and will add some new as well to provide you with the discussion space on the questions above:
You can tag your post with one or several topics at the same time (just be sure to address all those in your post). All posts and contributions you create are added up to one score at the end of the week.
Yellowdig tip: Remember to respond to questions. If your post generated some, it is a good thing! The best way not to miss questions is to set email notifications in Yellowdig - then, whenever someone reacts to your post, you will get instantly notified.
Remember that Yellowdig point earning period ends each Friday. Posting commenting, reacting regularly through the weeek will make the 1000 pts. an easy target and guarantee a high participation grade in the course. Yellowdig discussions will account for 15% of your total grade.
