[TRNSYS-users] solar cell performance

[David BRADLEY]

Sandeep,
   the SolarCellPerformance() subroutine contains some code that allows 
it to model both standard flat plate and concentrating PV collectors. CL 
and CH refer to values of the concentration ratio; the ratio of the 
aperture area to the absorber area. Ao is a coefficient that is used in 
the concentrating PV collector model. Values for certain panels are 
given in the \Trnsys17\Examples\Data Files\Type50-SolCel.dat file.

   I might mention as a side note that unless you absolutely have to use 
a call to the SolarCellPerformance() subroutine, I would recommend that 
you rely much more on the PV modeling methods in Types94 and 194. They 
are much more up to date modeling algorithms.

kind regards,
  David
