Dear Paul

There are really alot of amazing parts in the new version of SAM (2016.3.14). In the results page I found the solar field optical efficiencies related with the Azimuth angle and the elevation angles. I analyzed the data and found that the elevation angle cannot match the latitudes of the plant site. I am wondering maybe the elevation angle here is the Zenith angle. The picture I drawn is attached in this page. I am not that sure about this. Just a kind reminding. Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Harry Han

Dear Harry,

You are correct. The angles reported as elevation angles are actually the zenith angles. We will fix that in the next update.

Best regards,
Paul.
