Abstract
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) has installed weather stations throughout San Francisco to understand the solar resource and evaluate potential solar PV projects. Over the last 10 years these weather stations and the SFPUC´s solar program have expanded. This paper presents the results of that effort and shows the variation in solar resource throughout the City and County of San Francisco.
