API field
MPP current
Current at maximum power, standard conditions
Unit A
What it is
The current at the maximum-power point at standard test conditions, in amperes. The circuit model is fitted through the short-circuit current and the open-circuit voltage at standard conditions and a third point set by the One-diode STC point step: the datasheet maximum-power point, or a maximum equal to the nameplate. With the datasheet point it is the current the curve passes through at the maximum-power voltage.
Typical values and how to get it
The module datasheet value. A PAN file carries it too. If not given: the module runs on the PVWatts DC model, which does not read it. The one-diode models need it: a request that names one of them without it is refused.
