SAM assumptions

Hi all,

I will like to know SAM´s assumptions for the solar multiple, more in concrete and in terms of stadistics, what percentage of percentile does SAM gets for the DNI? namely, the "irradiation at design" value inside what percentile of the DNI is it?Is it understandable my question? ajjaja

Another few things i will like to know is how can I get for december almost the half of energy produced in january and both months have practically the same radiation!!

Thanks a lot for your help.


Best regards.

I assume your question is about the physical trough model.

Please see the section of the Solar Field Help topic under "Sizing the Solar Field." I've tried to explain the reference weather condition data and solar multiple there. If you have any questions after reading the explanation, please post them here.

Best regards,
Paul.
