Does the ENET 39 network come with standard solar irradiance data, or does it assume a capacity factor of 1 if no irradiance data is fed?

Hi @keac139,

Yes, the ENET39 comes with solar irradiance data for the 6 PV objects in the network by default. Each PV object has its own associated profile and a PSET Event linking the profile with the object.

If you wish to add additional PV objects you can:

  • reuse those same profiles with your new PV objects by creating PSET Events for your new PV objects and pointing to the same profile of a nearby PV object that already exists in the ENET39
  • import your own profiles (check out this discussion for more details on that)
  • use the built-in weather data connections in SAInt to generate profiles from historical data directly in the SAInt GUI (follow these how-to guides 1, 2, and 3 if you are interested in that)

I hope this helps!
