Error: Failed to solve for module coefficients. was created by argon1199
Hello,

I am getting the error "Failed to solve for module coefficients. Please check you inputs."  I have checked that the data entered matched what is on the data sheet from the manufacturer.

I have attached a screenshot of the error and the pdf file of their datasheet.

Thank you for the help.

Joseph

Hi Joseph,

The algorithm SAM uses to calculate model input parameters from datasheet specifications does not always converge on a solution. This is something we hope to fix in the future.

For now, you might try changing the cell type to see if that helps the algorithm find a solution (this input determines the initial conditions for the iterative solution, so it can be different from the module's actual cell type).

Best regards,
Paul.
