Region-specific savings upon coupling to wind, solar, and a wind/solar mixture have been shown for China, EU-28, R.O.W., and Global regions. To capture each phase of the life cycle proportionately, the one-year savings reported here represent the average yearly savings over the 20-year lifetime, rather than the quantity of savings after 1 year of use.
