The coefficients of determination R2 between the PV potential and these factors are: (a) 0.85, (b) 0.86, (c) 0.95, and (d) 0.93. The resulting relations show that 1% increases in factors a-d are associated with the following increases in PV-potential: (a) 0.82%, (b) 0.93%, (c) 0.94%, and (d) 1%, indicating sublinear relations with a-c, but a linear relation with d.scaling relationscity sizesolar PV potentialtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
