Base Data Definition for photovoltaic thermal collectors

Extends from AixLib.Fluid.SolarCollectors.Data.GenericEN12975.

Information

Overview

This record extends the solar thermal collectors records and adds efficiency curves for the electrical part to enable a model of a photovoltaic thermal collector. Note that the default values for angles, pressure drops and panel area are generic assumptions based on values for solar thermal collectors provided in AixLib.Fluid.SolarCollectors.Data. If you want to model a specific device, check the general UsersGuide for information on these parameters and set them appropriately: AixLib.Fluid.SolarCollectors.UsersGuide.
