Hi Paul 

I am currently working on a CSP and PV hybrid project for a 100 MW plant. I conducted a simulation of a PV only systems in SAM and another simulation with HOPP. However, I'm getting different results: the SAM simulation indicates a higher annual energy output compared to what I obtained from HOPP. What could be the reason for this.

Hello,

The most likely reason is a difference in inputs between the two models, or possibly a difference in versions.

Best regards,
Paul.
