Which parameters are taken into account?
There are many parameters that are taken into account to generate the simulation results. Among the most relevant:
- Coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude)
- Historical irradiance
- Sun position (elevation, azimuth)
- IAM
- Ambient temperature
- Wind speed/direction
- Mounting system
- Module type
- Cell temperature
- I-V curves (specific to the module)
- Cell arrangement
- Mechanical characteristics of the components (size, weight)
- String configuration
- Inverter performance curves
- String input voltage
- AC output power and clipping
- Automatic string size calculation
- Available MPPTs
- Available inputs per MPPT
- String orientations based on the 3D scene
- Losses (wiring, connection, snow, soiling, shadows)
- Consumption data
- Tariffs
- Taxes
- Regulations
- Battery technology (LFP, NMC, LMO, LTO...)
- Battery degradation
- PPA
- Financing
- NPV
- IRR
- O&M costs
- Discount rate
