IV shading current scale (override)

Shading current scale for an inverter given by library id

What it is

The shading current scale of an inverter chosen by its library or OND file id; it replaces the choice stored with the inverter.

Typical values and how to get it

Chosen on the Model tab.

Values

Scale the curve by the electrical shading = electrical_fraction (default): the array curve's current is multiplied by the share of power the electrical shading leaves · Leave the curve unscaled = off: the electrical shading loss is taken as power only, and the curve keeps the current of the unshaded array
