The NREL "Redbook" data for San Francisco is based on conditions at San
Francisco International Airport. Those who know the area will
immediately realize this is very different from downtown San Francisco,
or any really coastal location. It's 20 miles down the peninsula, and on
the Bay side. It's MUCH sunnier than SF or Half Moon Bay! 

I use the Redbook data for Arcata. THAT's a coastal site! And is
probably a safe worst scenario. You can fudge the hours upward a bit if
you're feeling brave.

We are quoting a PV system for a coastal location in CA - less than a
quarter mile from the beach in Half Moon Bay (SF bay area).  I was
wondering if anyone has annual insolation data for this case.  Clean
Power Estimator returns the same performance as for an inland location.
Thanks
