Overview

SunIrradiance was developed to simulate the solar spectrum and calculate the module performance under real climate conditions. It is limited to the Slovenian irradiation conditions.

Key features

• spectral and global irradiance model
• one-diode PV cell/module model
• energy losses in PV systems
• self-shading losses
• multi oriented PV modules in a PV system

Description

Due to calibration to Slovenian irradiation condtitions, detailed description is in Slovenian language only.
