SamUL script for multiple (tilts, azimuths, and annual energy production)

Hello,

I'm hoping someone might be able to help get me on the right track.

I’m trying to create a data lookup table for Austin, TX. I was hoping to use the SamUL scripting to create a csv file that would contain various tilts, azimuths and total energy yield for a 1kw system for Austin, TX at a .77 derate. Or if you think there's an easy way to do this with the excel exchange that would work as well.

Could you help provide a sample file or assistance on writing the script for this?

Tilt: 0-60
Azimuth:90-300
Location:Austin, TX (any zip or 78705 whichever)
derate:.77
System size:1kw
annual energy:total

example table:

Azimuths
Tilts 0 1 2 3
Total KWH/yr
90 1232
91 1232 1232
92 1232 1232
93


I appreciate any assistance you could provide.

Warmest Regards,
Dina

Dear Dina,
You could write a script to do that, or can generate the table in SAM 2014.1.14 by running parametric simulations (see this example ( ZSAM 800 KB ). Here's a graph from that file:

Best regards,

Paul.
