API field

Apply the low-light threshold

Whether timesteps with almost no light on the module plane count as dark

What it is

Whether timesteps with very little light on the module plane are treated as dark. When it is on, a timestep whose global irradiance on the plane is below the threshold value gets no light on the plane at all.

Typical values and how to get it

Chosen on the Model tab. The default is on.

Values

true (default): plane irradiance below the threshold is set to zero · false: no timestep is set to zero and the threshold value has no effect
