We compare reliability- and capacity factor-based methods of estimating the capacity value of solar power plants. Our results show that solar plants can have long-term capacity values ranging between 46% and 95% of maximum capacity, depending on the solar technology, plant configuration, and location. We also show that the capacity-factor based methods provide reasonable approximations solar capacity values.
