Hi Tim, I find it pretty easy to make a mistake entering the data from cut sheets into the E+ object. Particularly the temperature coefficient of short circuit current and open circuit voltage. Sometimes the cut sheets are in units of % and E+ units are not. I would double check these inputs. I opened the spreadsheet and it looks like the values for the temperature coefficients are in %. You need to divide by 100 and enter that value into energyplus.

I would double check these inputs. I opened the spreadsheet and it looks like the values for the temperature coefficients are in %. You need to multiple the short circuit current (and open circuit voltage) by the coefficient value, then divide by 100 and enter that value into energyplus.100.
