Methodology of calculating powers

Hello,

I am writing because I need some information about the formulas used for calculating power P_dcGross and P_ac for CPV?
I want also to have the relation between these values and the efficiency of the module?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Zaynab

Dear Zaynab,

You can see how SAM calculates those values in the source code, which is available in the SSC repository on GitHub.com:

github.com/NREL/ssc/blob/develop/ssc/cmod_hcpv.cpp

For example, the equation for dcgross is on Line 539.

Best regards,
Paul.
