Solar power in Nebraska is rapidly becoming competitive with grid electricity, due to the decrease in cost and the eight-year extension to the 30% tax credit, which can be used to install any size system. Solar power and wind power are easily able to provide all of Nebraska's energy need, although they would require either transmission lines to provide power when neither are available, and/or storage. Estimates show that Nebraska could generate 3,832,600 GWh/year from wind,〔(Estimates of Windy Land Area and Wind Energy Potential, by State )〕 and 21% of demand from rooftop solar panels.〔(Report Argues for a Decentralized System of Renewable Power Generation )〕 Large area solar farms would generate many times demand. Nebraska's largest solar installation is the 108.9 kW group of arrays at Creighton University.〔(Omaha Renewable Energy Project )〕〔(Output display )〕 The second largest is the 45 kW array at the Norfolk Operations Center of Nebraska Public Power District.〔(Renewable Energy )〕 ImageSize = width:420 height:240 PlotArea = width:350 height:150 left:40 bottom:40 AlignBars = late DateFormat = x.y Period = from:0 till:6.5 TimeAxis = orientation:vertical ScaleMajor = unit:month increment:1 start:0 TextData = pos:(15,220) textcolor:black fontsize:M text:hrs pos:(205,25) textcolor:black fontsize:S text:Month pos:(90,230) textcolor:black fontsize:M text:Grand Island Sun Hours/day (Avg = 5.29 hrs/day) Colors = id:yellow value:yellow PlotData= width:20 textcolor:black bar:Jan color:yellow from:0 till:4.24 text:4.24 shift:(-10,60) bar:Feb color:yellow from:0 till:4.76 text:4.76 shift:(-10,65) bar:Mar color:yellow from:0 till:5.34 text:5.34 shift:(-10,70) bar:Apr color:yellow from:0 till:5.78 text:5.78 shift:(-10,75) bar:May color:yellow from:0 till:5.76 text:5.76 shift:(-10,75) bar:Jun color:yellow from:0 till:6.16 text:6.16 shift:(-10,80) bar:Jul color:yellow from:0 till:6.27 text:6.27 shift:(-10,80) bar:Aug color:yellow from:0 till:6.25 text:6.25 shift:(-10,80) bar:Sep color:yellow from:0 till:5.70 text:5.70 shift:(-10,75) bar:Oct color:yellow from:0 till:5.24 text:5.24 shift:(-10,70) bar:Nov color:yellow from:0 till:4.20 text:4.20 shift:(-10,55) bar:Dec color:yellow from:0 till:3.76 text:3.76 shift:(-10,50) :Source: NREL〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PV Watts )〕 ==See also== * Photovoltaics 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Solar power in Nebraska」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
