Shading derate

Do you want to calculate shading derate? Yes No

Notes:

  • Components arrangement:
    • Groups: Arrange components with same orientation and model by groups and send groups to PVWatts or PVGYS web service. Results are extrapolated to faces and arrays.
    • Faces: Arrange components by faces.
    • Arrays: Arrange components by arrays.
      Use "Array view" button to define arrays using SketchUp paint tool. Return to normal view to make the report.
      If array has different orientations, ( non-planar surface case), azimuth and tilt of arrays will be the average.
  • Shading derate is the percentage of solar energy that is potentially available at model site divided by the solar energy really receives solar panel due to shadows.
  • You can change fonts in Window-Model Info- Text- Leader Text - select all leader text. Press Fonts and select Heigth instead of Points to have allways the same size, independent of zoom.
