Does SAM support electric storage / batteries? was created by qwer1304

Hi,

Does SAM support electric storage / batteries?

There's a mentioning of this in the manual in the Photovoltaic Systems: Component-based Models section:
"The current version of the software includes simple models of loads and storage for gridconnected
systems with electric storage batteries."

But then, there's nothing on batteries anywhere.

Thx,
David

Update October 26, 2015: SAM's detailed photovoltaic model does now support battery storage. For an introductory video, see  sam.nrel.gov/node/69635 .
Dear David,
The current version of SAM does not model electric storage for PV systems. My apologies for the error in the documentation. That is left over from an older version of SAM.
Best regards,

Paul.
