I seem to have hit a bug in the software. I am running a Detailed PV model, PPA, single owner.
I would like to input a Annual Degradation Schedule (rather than a value) and no matter what values I enter in the table (including 0, 1, 100 for each year) I always get the message :
Degradation calculated to be greater than 100%, capped at 100%.
and my simulation provides zero energy after the first year.
A few follow up questions:
- I am not sure if I am supposed to be using % or fractions, but any number fails.
- My PV panel loses 2% in the first year, then 0.25 in all other years. Is there a better way to capture this 2% initial loss. First year value must be zero, but I have to put in the second year.
