    This document contains calculations for capacity utilization factor (CUF) and performance ratio (PR) of solar power plants. It provides the energy generated, CUF, and solar radiation by month for different years. It also shows the formulas used to calculate CUF as the ratio of actual to maximum possible energy generated based on plant capacity. PR is calculated as the ratio of actual to nominal plant output, where nominal output depends on plant capacity and CUF based on solar radiation data.
