Hello, Trnsys users. I try to simulate the performance of a PV panel using Type567. However, I have two queries: 1. I try to compare the performance of a glazed and unglazed PV panel, but the power ouputs from the two types look the same. Is it normal? 2. The output from the PV panels is very small (less than 0.1kW for 100m2 PV panels). By reviewing the source code of Type567, I suspect that there is an error in the calculation of the "Power". It seems that the original formula "POWER=TAUALPHAN*XKAT*GT*PV_EFFICIENCY" needs to be multiplied by "AREA" when compared with the formulation for the "Absorbed radiation" based on "Q_ABS=AREA*GT*TAUALPHAN*XKAT*(1.-PV_EFFICIENCY)". Am I correct? Your reply is highly appreciated. Thank you! Best Regards LEE, Chun Kwong Division of Building Science and Technology City University of Hong Kong
