PV capacity factor

Cumulated PV installed capacity in Switzerland reached about 0.44 GW in 2012, of which 0.226 GW deployed in the same year [1]. In the same year the overall PV production has been 320.29 GWh [2], therefore assuming a constant growth rate for the installed capacity the average capacity factor is 0.113.
