[TRNSYS-users] doubts with time step

[David Bradley]

Matias,
  For almost all cases, TRNSYS outputs are average values over a 
timestep. An output of watts would therefore be the average 
instantaneous power generated by the PV over the course of the hour (W, 
not Wh, and kJ/hr, not kJ).
Kind regards,
 David
