Underestimation by a factor of 2

Open jaluebbe opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

I tried to adapt the example panel_class.ipynb to a typical solar panel and its mounting position. My impression is that I have to multiply all estimated results for the panel power by two to fit to the measured results.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll give you some data to my setup and location: 110W@1000W/m2 panel: s = 0.514 # m2 eff = 0.22 lat = 52.5 lon = 7.3 height = 30 # m above sea level panel surface is looking south, 90deg angle to ground. date: 2023-12-26 solarpy calculation shows about 42W at 12:00 my data shows a peak of 85W at 12:00
