SAM's accuracy or error ratio

Hi,

Is there any estimation on the software accuracy or the expected error ratio?

I am using SAM in my research and it would be helpful to identify an approximation of the error ratio in order to forcast a deviation range for the results.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ali,

The "PV Validation" page on the SAM website provides links to papers describing comparisons of simulation results from SAM's PV models to results from other models and data measured from physical systems:  sam.nrel.gov/photovoltaic/pv-validation.html

Similar studies for SAM's CSP models are listed on the "CSP Validation" page:  sam.nrel.gov/concentrating-solar-power/csp-validation.html

Best regards,
Paul.
