I recommend that the staff contact Paul Klink of Pass Energy who has developed software to
calculate energy production by the minute from solar PV systems. His numbers include the
effects of wind on the temperature of the panel and therefore on the production of the panel.
As you know, on hot afternoons, solar PV panel output can be 3ø percent or more below rated
output due to high panel temperature. Here is his contact information:

We do not need the high cost per KWH solar and wind power in Idaho. What we need is nuclear
power along with clean hydro- power that can be developed on the Snake & other rivers. I
worked in the federal hydro-power system for over 3ø years at Palisades, and Dworshak dams.
These projects bypass valuable water during the spring and summer months when it could be run
through turbines to produce electricity. The dams are already there, why not install the
needed turbines for far less cost than solar and wind power. One nuclear plant could more
than supply all the wind and solar that could ever be developed, and would be far more cost
efficient and take up less room, with less visual, and sound pollution.
