[TRNSYS-users] solar cell performance

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
