 In practical terms, it's common to see a maximum of 75% of STC under good conditions, more under great conditions, and much less under poor solar conditions. And about half of that in winter.
+===== where and when =====
+The location and season both have profound effects on solar harvest. [[opinion:frater_secessus:panelsizesforinsolation#representative_areas|For example]], Phoenix AZ has **over 8.5x the amount of solar power** available in summer as Seattle WA in the winter.  For any given location, winter harvest will be about half of summer harvest.
+You can estimate solar harvest using [[electrical:solar:pvwatts|models like PVwatts]].
 ===== lack of demand =====
