varies substantially by location in New Zealand due to weather patterns, naturally throughout a day, and by season and latitude with sun angle. Combined with the low efficiency of PV modules and electrical losses, the capacity factor of PV solar systems in New Zealand varies substantially, as shown in Figure 5.
During the research, Genesis Energy announced they were in discussions with a developer to develop a 300 MW solar farm in the Waikato (Energy News, 2020). However, no utility-scale solar systems have been built and are operational in New Zealand.
While PV panels in array frames are still the most popular option in New Zealand, there is now another choice. With building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), the roof cladding, wall cladding etc. have solar cells built into them.
Photovoltaic cells are specially prepared wafers of silicon that absorb light energy (photons) and release electrons, that form an electric current. Solar panels have the versatility to be installed almost anywhere energy is needed, and can be used on a small scale (e.g. to power individual households) or a large scale (e.g. solar farms).
