SAM diode parameter extraction error

I've been trying to create the IV curve for all the PV operating points over 1 year for some geographic locations. I am able to run the python module for some of the points but for some I get an error.  nrel-pysam.readthedocs.io/en/master/modules/SixParsolve.html

I am running the Pvsamv1 module to extract the PV information like the operating current, voltage, power, etc. for certain locations and for a specific PV panel which I get from the CEC Modules.xlsx file located in the libraries folder of the SAM software installation. 
I initiate a new instance of the module with SixParsolve.new(). To define the parameters for this I use:

SixParsolve.SixParameterSolver.Imp
SixParsolve.SixParameterSolver.Isc
SixParsolve.SixParameterSolver.Nser
etc.

My inputs before running the execute command are as follows:



It worked fine for inputs like this so i'm not sure what the issue is.



What i'm basically trying to do is apply inverter input limits so that i know how the inverter would clip the input. SAM's clipping method does not take into account the inverter max current so this is why I need to develop my own method. I'm trying to generate the IV curve to be able to know where the operating point would be if for some points they lie outside the inverter envelope. For example, lets say the y-axis is Pdc and x-axis is Vdc for the PV panel and when I connect the inverter I want to know where the new points will be. The only way to truly know where they will move to is if I have the IV curve of each point. The red is the inverter envelope and the 3 red points are some of the blue points that lie outside the inverter envelope. I want to find all the IV curves for all the points outside this envelope so i'm trying to generate the diode parameters SAM uses but for some of the points that lie outside this envelope i'm getting an error when I run the SixParameterSolver module as stated above.

Ahh ok thanks.

Well I guess my next question would be for the pvsam1 simulations do they not use the single diode model to find the max power point voltage and current based on the IV curve ? Like if pvsam1 is giving me the voltage and current from the PV panel then should it not also be able to give me the IV curve that was used to calculate those voltages and currents ? 

Also, is it save to assume that the operating currents and voltages for the pvsam1 simulation would also be the max power current and voltages of the IV curve ?

From section 9 in ( www.nrel.gov/docs/fy15osti/64102.pdf ) you can see that using CEC Module Model  as the PV panel selection it uses the single diode model and solves it using Newtons method. It also states that the parameters are extracted using 6parsolve which is the same module i'm using for all the DC operating points which pvsam1 spits out. I'm also extracting the cell temperature and the irradiance because they account for some of the inputs to the sixparametersolver. It doesn't make sense to me that it will fail because pvsam1 is providing me the following inputs that I use for the sixparametersolver input:
SixParsolve.SixParameterSolver.Imp
SixParameterSolver.Isc
SixParameterSolver.Tref
SixParameterSolver.Vmp
SixParameterSolver.Voc
The rest of the sixparameter inputs i'm using come from the PV panel i've selected which is the same PV panel I've selected for pvsam1.

Unless pvsam1 solves for all the outputs using a different method i'm not sure why the sixparameter would ever not work since that is what pvsam1 is using in the SAM documentation in  www.nrel.gov/docs/fy15osti/64102.pdf  

Is there another method to obtain the IV curve which would be compatible with the results which pvsam1 gives ? As in is there another method to extract an IV curve where the results from pvsam1 would lie on the IV curve ? There are other user designed python modules which do solve the single diode model but when I use the outputs from pvsam1, pvsam1's operating voltages and current do not lie on the IV curve I generate so this is why i'm trying to use SAM to solve for the parameters. For the operating points that don't crash the sixparameter method I can generate an IV curve where the outputs from pvsam1 lie on the IV curve I generate and are also analogous with Vmp and Imp of the generated curve. 

Ok so as per my question, does pvsam1 current and voltage outputs coincide with the Imp and Vmp of the IV curve ? Can we assume that ? 

Can you provide me the location of the code which uses the irradiance and cell temperature to compute the outputs from pvsam1 ?

Can we assume that the ouptuts from pvsam1 are even on an IV curve or is there a way to use any of the SAM modules to generate the correct IV curve that would align with the pvsam1 voltage and current outputs ?
