<p>Hi David, </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for answer and suggestion! Actually, I am trying to compare the performance of simple PV ( type 194) and PV/T collector type ( type 50E thats only the one which is providing the power output). </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span> The problem that I am facing while using type 50E is that it accepts properties of a single cell </p>

<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">can you recommend any link where I can find properties for a single cell?</span></div>

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.
<br>
<br>
I might mention as a side note that unless you absolutely have to use a call to the
</span></span><span><span>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.<br>
