Abstract
1500% is the efficiency of a standard solar power plant—when the same metrics are applied as for conventional fossil fuel power plants. In this paper, a proper comparison is drawn between efficiencies reported by coal, combined cycle gas and solar power plants with the goal to clarify understanding of PV potential amongst a non-technical population. Feedback and critical input from PV experts on this potentially controversial methodology are highly welcome and will enable us to derive best practices for broader communication and outreach.
