PV Model Inputs, Outputs, and Assumptions

Is there a document available that summarizes the inputs, outputs, and assumptions for the Photovoltaic SAM Model?

Hi Benjamin,

You can find descriptions of inputs in the Help system -- just press the F1 key or click Help from any input page to open the Help topic for that page. You can also find a description of results for the Detailed Photovoltaic model in the "Results" topic (under "Detailed Photovoltaic Model" in the table of contents).

For a technical description of the model, see the SAM Photovoltaic Reference Manual, which you can find listed with other publications on the PV Publications page of the SAM website: sam.nrel.gov/photovoltaic/pv-publications.html

Best regards,
Paul.
