Information

Partial model of a simple photovoltaic array.

This model computes the power as P=A   f_act   η   G, where A is the panel area, f_act is the fraction of the aperture area, η is the panel efficiency and G is the total solar irradiation.

Note: This model takes as input the total solar irradiation on the panel. This has to be computed converting the incoming radiation to take tilt and azimuth into account.

The electrical connector is a general electrical interface.

  Removed connector between solarPower.y and P as for DC panels, an additional gain must be included in this connection.
  This is for issue 1577.
• January 4, 2013, by Michael Wetter:
  First implementation.
• October 31, 2013, by Marco Bonvini:
