[TRNSYS-users] Question about Type 563 hybrid solar panel

[David BRADLEY]

Benjamin,
  In order to get at additional values that are computed by the Type 
you'd need to have access to a Fortran compiler and would have to modify 
the source code, recompile the appropriate DLL, and modify the proformas.

  As for your question about the outlet temperature being below the 
inlet temperature, bear in mind that the model takes radiation losses 
into account and that if you have flow at night you can cool the working 
fluid down by means of radiation loss from the panel surface to the 
night sky.
regards,
  David
