Description:

This set of geospatial data quantifies financial risk exposure based on project location and fielded technologies, including PV module front glass thickness. Our financial risk exposure data includes 1-in-500 year probable maximum loss (PML), average annual loss (AAL), and extreme downside loss estimates across tracker tilt angles ranging from 0° to 75°, both facing into and out of the prevailing wind direction. These financial loss estimates account for differences in module hail resilience or vulnerability based on glass thickness (e.g., 3.2 mm vs. 2.0 mm vs. First Solar) and glass strengthening (e.g., fully tempered glass vs. heat-strengthened glass). These financial loss exposure data serve a know-before-you-go purpose, informing equipment selection and insurance cost estimates during early-stage project development.
