Does HOMER account for the effects of temperature on the PV array?

A. No. HOMER simply assumes that the output of the PV array is directly proportional to the amount of solar radiation striking the PV array. You can set the PV derating factor to something less than 100% in order to account in a very simple way for reduced output at high temperatures. But the derating factor applies equally to every hour of the year.
