[RE-wrenches] PVWatts Module Temperature Coefficient (was Enphase derate)

2010-04-19 Thread Joel Davidson
Wrenches, PVWatts does not accurately predicate Unisolar and Sunpower module performance because it uses a generic single crystal silicon solar module power temperature coefficient (I think -0.4% per degree C). Does someone have the technical paper that specifies PVWatts module temperature

It seems to be -0.5%/degC: http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/calculators/PVWATTS/moreabout.html Original Message Subject: [RE-wrenches] PVWatts Module Temperature Coefficient (was Enphase derate) From: Joel Davidson joel.david...@sbcglobal.net To: RE-wrenches re-wrenches@lists.re
