Can I modify a cell temperature model equation

NOCT type mathematical model for predicting solar PV cell temperature in floating photovoltaic systems is now available.

Hello,

It is not possible to set or modify the cell temperature calculated by SAM's Detailed Photovoltaic model using the desktop SAM application. It is possible to choose different options to adjust parameters of the cell temperature model using the inputs under "Temperature Correction" on SAM's Module input page. You could also make adjustments to the ambient temperature data in the weather file.

It is possible to set the cell temperature using the subarray[n]_custom_cell_temp_array input variable  if you are using PySAM or running the SSC module directly.

Please see this issue on GitHub.com for further details:  github.com/NatLabRockies/SAM/issues/106 .

Best regards,
Paul.
