Description

Modeling is a complicated topic - and performance calculation tools offer nearly endless âknobsâ to turn, any of which can impact the projected production. A fundamental understanding of what goes on âbehind the scenesâ is important to be able to make the right decisions when selecting data, adjusting system assumptions and de-rates, and comparing results so you can be confident when you make a production prediction or design choice. Don't worry, the heavy math is left to the modeling tool!

Topics include:

Examining and applying the core calculations used to predict production of PV arrays

Comparing the various modeling programs on the market, and their different approaches

Interpreting simulation results from performance models

Relating how system design choices impact the production of the array
