Illustration of the Baseload Factor for a PV plant: The baseload profile, set to the average production of the PV plant, is indicated by a horizontal grey line. Any production below or equal to the baseload profile (shaded in orange) is counted towards the coverage, any production above the baseload profile is discarded. The Baseload Factor is then calculated by normalizing the total coverage of the baseload profile by the plant's total energy production.
