[TRNSYS-users] Degradation of PV PANELS??

[David BRADLEY]

Daniel,
   Panel degradation is not built into any of the PV models. If you have 
access to the TESS Utility library then you could use Type572 (equipment 
fouling with scheduled cleanings) to degrade the performance of your PVs 
over time. If you do not have access to that component then it would be 
appropriate to write an equation that computes a multiplier whose value 
decreases from 1 over time. The value would then be multiplied by the 
output of the PVs over the course of the simulation.
Kind regards,
  David
