as capacity factor and system efficiency, have been studied to assess the capability of Solar One to supply electrical power. Solar One has shown an improvement in performance since power production testing began. Considerable increases in capacity factor and system efficiency were achieved. The factors contributing to these increases and approaches for achieving further increases are discussed. Show Less
