Error when calculate and plot Module IV curves

Hi Kyle,

Please check the values of all parameters, especially the units and values of the temperature coefficients. If those are correct, you might try a different cell type. The cell type parameter determines the starting conditions for the numeric solver, so IV curves calculated from a cell type that does not match the modules actual cell type are acceptable for simulations.

Hi Paul

Thanks for the reply. I double checked the module datasheet and everything is entered in exactly as found. I can provide the datasheet if required. 

It is a monocrystalline Trina bifacial module.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Kyle,

Yes, please do attach a datasheet or provide a link, and I will try to replicate the issue. If you wouldn't mind attaching your .sam file, that would help me see exactly how you entered the parameters.

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Paul

Do you have an email address I can share the files to? Doesn't appear i can attach files to this forum thread.

Thanks

Hi Kyle,

You can email us at sam dot support at nrel dot gov.

Best regards,
Paul.
