PV Panel settings

This section describes PV Panel settings

You can assign a PV panel file (.ipvx extension) to all photovoltaic panel elements in the model. PV panel files are generated using the Waveform Generator tool. You can set irradiance and temperature values for each panel individually. Irradiance and temperature can be changed during the simulation run-time.
