The part that landed most for me across Tasks 1–3 was the capacity factor, generation, and emissions calculations. Working through them made clear how installed capacity differs from actual energy output, and how capacity factor directly drives annual generation and emissions estimates. It showed me how engineering decisions get quantified and compared using real data rather than assumptions.

I liked that the simulation transformed theoretical concepts into practical results. It allowed me to calculate the installed capacity, capacity factor, and carbon emission reductions, helping me understand how solar PV systems are designed and evaluated. The visual graphs and monthly data also made it easier to identify seasonal trends in energy production.

I enjoyed the realistic, hands-on approach to learning about utility-scale solar operations. The simulation effectively combined technical concepts, such as PVsyst modelling, emissions calculations, and operational decision-making, with practical scenarios that reflect real industry tasks. It provided a good understanding of how renewable energy projects are planned, operated, and maintained.
