1. Solar farms' average power per unit land area versus their load factor (i.e. the ratio of their average electrical output to their capacity).
Solar farms' average power per unit land area versus their load factor (i.e. the ratio of their average electrical output to their capacity). Three of the Spanish thermal solar electric power stations have load factors greater than 27% and therefore fall off this chart to the right. (See tables 1–3 for data.) (Online version in colour.)‏
