Error in Annual Total kWh was created by Stuart McKenzie Hall
Hi Support!

I'm new to SAM, I've entered up to but including PV sub-arrays. I've ignored the "PV system costs" and other cost related feilds as I'm interested in calculating the total annual system load. I've had to use a RMY weather file downloaded from the link provided due to the Australian location. I've also used user entered data for both the Inverter and Panels as neither are in the databases provided.

One issue is that in reality (the system is installed not theoretical) we have two different inverters, 3kW and 5kW for this 6.555kW array, and 23 modules, I cannot see a way to model that in SAM.

I've attached my file, would love some help, no doubt its just a case of new user error. I could not upload the weather data here due to the restriction on *.ddy *.epw and *.stat weather files.

Kind Regards,

Stuart

I think all I needed to do was run the simulation, seems to work...sorry for taking your time!

Dear Stuart,

It sounds like you've resolved the weather file issue.

For now, SAM can only model photovoltaic systems with one kind of inverter and one kind of module.

Best regards,
Paul.
