[TRNSYS-users] Type 194 Efficiency problem

Based on that equation, I would think that the efficiency would go to 
zero whenever there is not output from the PV panel (ie every night). It 
is not entirely clear from the picture but are you basing the efficiency 
on the integrated amount of energy produced by the panel? If that is the 
case then the result would go to zero whenever the integrator is reset. 
If an integrator is set to have a -1 integration period then it 
integrates monthly.
kind regards,
  David
