Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Open source

The photovoltaic performance models are not specific to a particular material. You can add properties that reflect the performance of polymer based solar cells directly to the IDF without modifying the source code just as you would for silicon based cells.

There is no default material type in EnergyPlus. Are you using a user interface that has a default?

thank you.

I want to insert polymer instead of amorphous silicon for example.

and these type of silicons are the default of the program.so I thought I should change and manipulate the source of the program. am I right?

You don't need to modify the source code to add new materials or solar cell modules. You can add these directly to your IDF file. See the input documentation for Material to add a polymer material, and  PhotovoltaicPerformance:Simple (or PhotovoltaicPerformance:Sandia or PhotovoltaicPerformance:EquivalentOne-Diode) to add a new solar cell type.

If you do decide that you'd still like to look at the source code, you can find it at https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus.

Hi.
I know that energyplus is a open source software but i do not know how can i access to that.
I want to add a material like polymer to solar cell type.how can i do that?
