    • United State Utility-Scale Solar PV Representative Profiles 1998-2023

    Metadata Updated: June 28, 2025

    This data packet contains hourly generation profiles (representative profiles) for utility-scale PV across the contiguous United States. Hourly representative generation profiles are available for each reV supply curve site (~60,000 sites) which represents about 11.5 KM x 11.5 KM square envelope area. It contains capacity factor power profiles (AC) that can be linked directly to the capacity available in the supply curve. This data packet contains information for the reference scenario.
