PV systems could give as much as 60% of output throughout hurricanes
Researchers in the U.S. have shown, making use of simulations, PV system generation can range from 18-60% of clear-sky possibility throughout cyclones-- offered the arrays do not suffer damage. According to them, solar installations could remain to give back-up power when grids are down during storms, specifically if coupled with energy storage space.
