Data for monthly PV system generation over system lifetime was created by kothar32

Hello,

I am using SAM to model the energy production of a PV system. Under the data tables, I see the option for AC energy which gives the monthly energy for year 1, however, I would like to see the monthly energy for year 2, 3, 4, etc. Is there any way to do this? Thank you.

Hi Molly,

SAM does not report monthly outputs over the life of the system. You could calculate it outside of SAM by exporting the "System power generated" data. See the "Export Data and Graphs" topic in Help for instructions: samrepo.nrelcloud.org/help/export_data.htm.

Best regards,
Paul.
