The '''solar coverage rate''' is the percentage of an amount of [[energy]] that is provided by the sun. This may be in reference to a [[Solar water heating|solar thermal installation]] or a [[Photovoltaic system|photovoltaic installation]], i.e. a calculation of solar heat, [[electricity]] or total energy produced. The observation period is typically one year. As a general rule, higher values represent improved [[Energy efficiency (physics)|energy efficiency]] and improved environmental outcomes.
