Simulation of innovative solar modules was created by Zendling
Dear wizards of SAM,

at INTERSOALR in Munich, a company showed PV modules designed for environmentally friendly green roofs. The modules are installed vertically and consist of two parallel strings of 21 half cells each.
Is there a way to estimate the yields with SAM? I'm not looking for a button that does it, but it should be possible to find a "manual" workaround. How could this be done? Any ideas?

Greetings from Munich
Mirko

Hi Mirko,

If you have datasheet parameters for the module at standard test conditions (STC), you should be able to use the technique described in this post to enter the module parameters, and then set the tilt and azimuth angles as appropriate on the System Design page. For vertical modules, set the tilt angle to 90 degrees.

Best regards,
Paul.
