The correction_factor for solar introduced in https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-ariadne/pull/225 is adjusted downwards to 0.9. The reason was a higher capacity factor observed for solar in the latest 3H and 30 nodes (for DE) runs. Besides, in hindsight, it seems overengineered to pick a very precise number for something that is not know that exactly, and that we don't expect to be exact in our model. Afterall we are mixing 2020 capacities with a 2019 weather year and extrapolate that into the future. So, 0.9 is a nice number, does the job, and was stated by Tom as the maximum acceptable correction factor before the linear downscale would distort peak capacity (and thus required Netzausbau) too much.
For similar reasons a correction_factor of 0.95 was introduced for offwind. We are orienting towards the follwing data:
We take over an expected delay in one of the offshore projects (closes #283).
