PV model with only GHI data? was created by mfripp
I would like to model performance of a single-axis tracking PV system, but I only have GHI data available, with no breakdown between beam and diffuse components. In the past I have estimated beam and diffuse components by fitting this to a clear sky model, and then used those beam and diffuse components for photovoltaic calculations. However I would rather not have to do that. Is SAM able to work with only GHI data and then estimate the beam and diffuse components internally for PV analysis?

Looking at sam.nrel.gov/node/70675 I think you need a second variable.
You might look at sam.nrel.gov/sites/sam.nrel.gov/files/content/documents/xls/DNI-GHI_to_DHI_Calculator.xlsx and rredc.nrel.gov/solar/models/DISC/ to calculate the other(s)
