Hello,
I am simulating a system with a CdTe module not in the CEC database. I have input all the values according to the manufacturer's specifications sheet but when I tried to plot the IV-curve, I got the following error:
Could not solve, sanity check failed (-2): Il < 0.5 || Il > 20.0
My hunch is that SAM does not accept PV modules with short-circuit current values of less than 0.5A and more than 20A. Is my hunch correct? If not, could someone please let me know what that error might be and how to fix it?
The details of the PV modules I have are as follows:
- Module Power: 24 W
- Cell Type: CdTe
- Vmp: 88.4 V
- Imp: 0.27 A
- Voc: 118.7 V
- Isc: 0.32 A
- Temperature coefficient of Voc: -0.321 %/°C
- Temperature coefficient of Isc: 0.06 %/°C
- Temperature coefficient of power: -0.214 %/°C
- Number of cells in series: 140
- Nominal operating temperature 47.3 °C
- Module area: 0.72 m²
- Module aspect ratio: 2
Regards.
