Description

Modeling is a complicated topic - and performance calculation tools offer nearly endless “knobs” to turn, any of which can impact the projected production. A fundamental understanding of what goes on “behind the scenes” 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

Join Paul Grana, co-founder of Folsom Labs and the HelioScope modeling and design tool, for an in-depth look at PV system performance modeling in four Parts:

  1. Introduction and System Design

  1. Environment Assumptions and Irradiance Calculations

  1. Module Modeling and System Behavior

  1. Simulation Results and Model Comparison
