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.

Best regards,
Paul.

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.
