HCPV Module Input and Output Question was created by bobaman
I am working on a HCPV application and am getting incorrect results from the model and I don't know why. The module I'm working with has 20 cells, 0.08cm2, concentration ratio of 625 for ~max Wdc of 30 and module area of 0.1 m2. Array has 28 trackers and 120 modules for system nameplate capactity of ~100kW. When I run the model I get Net annual energy of -452,000 kWh. However, if I run the default HCPV numbers with different sized cells and modules, I get a positive number ~133,000 kWh. Is there some limit to the size of cell used in this model?

Paul,
I have attached my file with two scenarios. One with 100kW HCPV and 100kW Flat Panel arrays. I just noticed when I ran the simulation again a warning symbol go off in the upper right hand corner of the scenario. However, I don't know what the error message means or how to correct for it.
Regards,
Bob
