Version 7.0.0

Version 7.0.0, released Apr 17, 2025, corresponds to SAM 2025.4.16., SSC 302.

This page compares the PySAM Modules’ input variables and the defaults for these input variables between the current release and the last release.

This helps track which variables and defaults have changed between releases to make it easier to notify users during version upgrade.

Below are lists for each PySAM Module:

  1. New Default configurations

  2. Removed Default configurations

  3. Modified Variables: New variables, Removed variables and Type-changed variables

  4. Modified Default Values
