Errors in financial side of SAM Report was created by kscoles
Several of my students are getting errors in the Financial Model section of the SAM Report
[118]: reference to unassigned variable: str_ptc_es... (off screen)
[107]: error inside function call
I can track these down to a connection to financial incentives, but not a direct cause. In one case the students had incentivized the project to the point of creating a negative net capital cost. In another case, the incentive was large, but not enough to take the net capital cost negative. Can you point out the error source?
A source file, and report generator results for federal and state ITC (with error), and federal ITC only (no error) are attached.

Hello,
Thank you for pointing that out -- there is an error in the script that generates the PDF report for PV systems.
The script fails under some conditions when there is a PTC. To fix the issue, please download this pv.samreport file and replace the one in your SAM installation. In Windows, the file is in C:/SAM/2015.6.30/runtime/report. To find the file on a Mac, please see this description of how to display the package contents.)
Note that this issue is not resolved in the brand new version of SAM we just released today (SAM 2016.3.14). We will update the report in that version soon.
Best regards,
Paul.

Sorry about that. We were having server problems yesterday that have been resolved now. The term "pv.samreport file" in my response above should be a link to download the file.
Best regards,
Paul.
