Dear PV-sol experts,
I'm currently simulating a solarpark with portrait PV panels. Due to the lack of space, we only have a rather small space between the panels, which causes shading on the next panel in line. Because we don't have panels with a bypass configuration for portrait, this would mean that shading the lowest row of the panel, will activate all bypass diodes and will therefore more of less shut off the panel.
My question is; is this effect taken into account for the simulation or is shading taken as an average decrease in illumination?
As what I understand you do take it into account, but i really need to be sure, because the continue of the project more or less depends on the simulation.
(and maybe a follow-up question; is there a way in PV-Sol to search for PV-panels with a 'portrait bypass configuration'?)
Kind regards,
Yvar
