[TRNSYS-users] type 194 and 194b efficiency

Sandeep,
  I would recommend contacting your TRNSYS distributor with your 
questions about the PV efficiency. Be careful if you are computing the 
efficiency of the PV using the power output and the solar radiation 
input; the solar radiation input is in kJ/h.m2 and the output is in W.

  The EES distributable cannot be modified as it is a packaged 
stand-alone tool. Also, the EES tool is designed only to compute the 
values of the Type194 parameters; it does not make any estimate of the 
PV performance.
kind regards,
  David
