Photovoltaics;Direct conversion of sunlight to electricity using solar cells.;photovoltaics_48h;*
&Component-based Models;A detailed PV performance simulator that uses CEC and Sandia models for modules and inverters.;inverter_48h;Photovoltaics
&PVWatts System Model;A simplified system model that does not require specific module and inverter characteristics.;pvwatts_48h;PVWatts
Concentrating Solar Power;CSP systems use mirrors or lenses to focus sunlight to generate a heat source for conventional type power plant.;csp_48h;*
&Parabolic Trough System;Long parabolic mirrors are used to focus sunlight on a heat transfer fluid passing through a pipe at the focal point.;trough_48h;CSP Parabolic Trough
&Power Tower System;A field of tracking heliostats focus sunlight on a central tower. SAM utilizes the DELSOL3 code to compute field characteristics.;tower_48h;CSP Power Tower
&Dish Stirling System;A Stirling engine is placed at the focal point of a large dish mirror, thereby eliminating the heat transfer fluid.;dish_48h;CSP Dish Stirling
Generic Fossil System;Represents a simple coal or gas fired conventional power plant.;fossil_48h;Generic Fossil
