Abstract
This paper explores methods with which developers and technology providers can fully monetize energy production estimates of photovoltaic plants, thereby leaving little value on the table. The methods discussed in this paper describe comprehensive model validation and performance testing. Risk allocation through commercial means is also briefly discussed.
