Hello everyone

I am using the Sandia module database for energy yield calculations. However, I want to know the meaning of every column (all the parameters) to have a deeper understanding in the energy yield calculations.

Does anybody know where I can find the meaning of every single column of the Sandia Module database?

Thanks in advance

Hi Karel, does the table on this page answer your question? https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/generated/pvlib.pvsystem.sapm.html

The report listed on that page (SAND report 3535) is the primary reference for the SAPM: https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/919131
