[TRNSYS-users] Solar PV help

[David BRADLEY via TRNSYS-users]

Saikat,

   Please make sure that you are using the 4th output from Type194 
(array power at maximum power point) instead of the 3rd output (array 
power). You should click on the "more" button for each of these outputs 
to understand the difference between the two but in short, the 3rd 
output is the power that the array puts out at the user defined load 
voltage (an input). If you have left the load voltage unconnected and 
defaulted to zero then the array power at 0V is 0W. The 4th output shows 
the peak power that the array could be generating under ideal load 
circumstances. Most PV arrays are outfitted with a maximum power point 
tracker to ensure that they operate at or near the ideal point.

kind regards,

  David
