GCR

Hi

I would like to use Photovoltaic Systems in SAM where I only have one single module. I want to know what value should I use for GCR?? , since I do not have any neighbouring solar panels.

Thanks

Hi Paul,
Thank you very much for the response'

I did simulation in SAM, putting GCR= 0.3. I am using a 50 watts solar panel, with area of about  0.3 m^2. I suppose the value of the total estimated power should be around 0.3 m^2, however; from the simulation I obtained 0.877 m^2. Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks very much and looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi ,
I am using the data in Montreal, QC,Canada, and I would like to include DC power loss due to snow in my results, because we have a lot of snow in our area. I am very surprised, when I was checking the data table, because I find out there are alot of days in summer, where we do not have any snow but in the table shows the loss due to snow. 

Thank in advances for your help.
