API field
One-diode STC point
The third point the one-diode curve passes through at standard conditions
What it is
Selects the third point of the one-diode fit at standard test conditions and the power the array nominal energy is counted from. It is read with the Mermoud one-diode model.
Typical values and how to get it
Chosen on the Model tab.
Values
Through the datasheet MPP = datasheet_mpp (default): the curve passes through the datasheet maximum-power point, and the array nominal energy counts the curve's maximum · Maximum at the nominal power = pnom: the curve's maximum power at standard test conditions equals the nameplate
