number of modules in report different from number shown in Array fields in source file

When I create a report, the number of modules shown in the report is off by as much as 10,000 compared to the number shown in the Array section of the file. I can't seem to adjust the numbers in the fields (even though they are supposed to be changeable). What do I need to do?

Hello,

There are some formatting and other issues with the PV reports in SAM 2012.11.30 that we are fixing now. We will post updated templates this week.

However, I was not able to replicate the issue you describe. For example, when I generate a report for the default Flat Plate PV with Utility IPP financing, the report shows a module quantity of 65,520, which matches the value on the array page.

Can you describe what you are seeing in more detail, and if possible attach a copy of the report and .zsam file to your reply?

If you are referring to the Modules per String and Strings in Parallel values on the Array page, you must choose the "Specify numbers of modules and inverters" option to edit those values. The report shows the "Actual Layout" values visible at the top right of the Array page.

Best regards,
Paul.
