Which of the simulation models provided by SAM is best suited to the case of a 24 KW on-grid photovoltaic plant?. Thank you very much in advance

Hi Marcelo,

If you are new to SAM, you might use the PVWatts model to start with. You can then use the Detailed PV model when you have more experience. See the Photovoltaic page for a brief description of the two models: sam.nrel.gov/photovoltaic.html

For a 24 kW system, I think you would use the Commercial financial model, but you can follow the links from this page to read descriptions of the different financial models: sam.nrel.gov/financial-models.html.

Best regards,
Paul.
