I try to add PV Module with user specifications, but when i click button "Calculate and plot" i have fail (-33)...
[Could not solve, sanity check failed (-33): abs((P - Pmp) / Pmp) > 0.015]
But all parameters were taken from the manufacturer's official website.

Module name: ABI Solar АВ340-60MHC

[img


Pmax = 340W
Isc =10,55A
Voc = 41,7V    
Impp = 9,96A    
Vmpp = 34,2V
Nominal Operating Cell Temperature (NOCT) 45±2 °C
Temperature coef's of:
Pmax = -0,360 %/°C
Voc = -0,280 %/°C
Isc = 0.048 %/°C

Hi Mykhailo,

The module parameter solver fails for some input parameter sets.

Please attach a copy of a .sam file with these parameters if you would like me to help troubleshoot.

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Mykhailo,

Please try changing the number of cells in series from 12 to 60. That results in a set of I-V curves that look similar to the one on the manufacturer spec sheet:
