Sun shape input was created by a.swaiyd
Hi,

As far as I know, SAM uses the limb-darkened sun shape model in the simulation. Is there a way to input the sun shape model manually like in SolarPILOT and SolTrace?

Thank you,

Hi,

No. SAM's CSP models do not have an input for the sun shape model.

Best regards,
Paul.
