Calculating Subarray Operating Current was created by Kyle_DeanCEI
Hello,

I believe there used to be a Data Table column dedicated for "Subarray 1 Operating Current (A)" that would show the string level current of a subarray. It appears that column is no longer an option. Any reason why?
The only other way I can think to calculate the operating current is by dividing the subarray gross power in kw by the operating voltage times the number of parallel strings. Does this work instead?

Thanks,
Kyle D.

Hi Kyle,

Yes, that approach is appropriate for calculating the operating current of a single string in a subarray for the Detailed PV model.

Best regards,
Paul.
