subarray operating current (A) was created by Liquet
Hello Sam team, 
In Time Series I am able to see the subarray short circuit current, however I am not able to see any data related to "subarray operating current" or something related to the MPPT current. Isn't it possible in SAM?

Best,
Carlos

Hi Carlos,

SAM uses the operating voltage to determine when MPPT voltage clipping occurs, but does not consider the inverter input current.

You can calculate the current by dividing the array DC power by the operating voltage. (We are renaming that variable to inverter input power to make it clearer what it represents.)

Best regards,
Paul.

Yes you are right! I did that meanwhile (dividing the array DC power by the operating voltage).  

Thanks Paul.
