Pull Request Description

Add PV saturation for Hawaii using EIA form861

resstock-estimation companion PR #445

Test Run Results

A test run was conducted with 7,502 samples representing 539,053 dwelling units in Hawaii. Following figure illustrates the comparison of PV penetration between Run 6 and the 2018 EIA data. The PV penetration rate in ResStock closely aligns with that of the EIA data, both at the county level and for the entire state.

Following figure shows the comparison of PV power generation between the rest run and the 2018 EIA data. The 2018 EIA Form 861 data covers 436,257 customers. To align with the customer count in ResStock, we adjust the total PV power generation data from the EIA by applying a factor of 1.2356 (539,053 / 436,257) to the EIA data
