One-diode saturation-current floor

Whether the diode saturation current is held above 2.07 × 10⁻¹⁴ A

What it is

Selects whether the saturation current of the one-diode curve is held at 2.07 × 10⁻¹⁴ A or more. It is read with the Mermoud one-diode model.

Typical values and how to get it

Chosen on the Model tab.

Values

Held at 2.07 × 10⁻¹⁴ A or more = pvsyst_8 (default): held at 2.07 × 10⁻¹⁴ A or more, in the solve and at every timestep · No floor = none: the saturation current as the temperature law gives it
