Export CEC database from present SAM version was created by john_clearsky

I use the CEC parameters for modules (a, IL, Io, Rs, Rsh) and inverters (PAC0, PDC0, etc.) frequently. These factors are no longer included in the CEC database released on their site (post 2015). But, I can get more recent ones from SAM. Thanks!

Right now, I know how to pull up an individual module's parameters. Is there a way to export the values for all modules / inverters in the latest SAM release? Or a quick way to copy an individual entry?

Thanks for any help / advice,

John

**** I found the libraries in the SAM / Libraries folder. Thanks.

Dear John,

As you discovered, SAM's module and inverter libraries are stored as CSV files in the Libraries folder of the SAM installation.

If you use the "CEC Performance Model with User Entered Specifications" option on the Module page, SAM calculates and reports those parameter values in the results, so there is also a way to generate them for modules that are not in the library.

Best regards,
Paul.
