Is LOSSES[%] the correct place to enter solar efficiency? the field description mentions this value is only used when the weather data is retrieved from a weather source (not my case).. Does this mean the value entered here wont matter for me?
In which field can I enter panel efficiency as a percentage (preferably at the network level) and have it correctly affect my scenario simulations?
Hi Steven,
We discussed this in person but just to be complete I’ll include the response here.
My recommendation would be to embed this efficiency in the Value of the event. For example: PV.SOME_SOLAR_OBJECT.PMAX.[MW]*0.35 for 35% efficiency, assuming the associated profile represents solar availability and not a capacity factor in terms of the AC inverter capacity for the solar object.
