Spectral application

Whether the spectral correction enters before or after the cell temperature

What it is

Selects whether the Lee and Panchula correction enters before or after the cell temperature. The correction always multiplies the irradiance the module model converts. The air-mass modifier always acts before the cell temperature.

Typical values and how to get it

Chosen on the Model tab.

Values

After the cell temperature = power_ratio (default): the cell temperature is computed from the uncorrected irradiance, and the module model converts the corrected irradiance · Before the cell temperature = effective_irradiance: the cell temperature and the module model both use the corrected irradiance, so the correction also changes the module temperature
