Hello,
I'm making shading tests with PVSOL and trying to investigate how different shadings on different module cells reduces module and whole string parameters. I'm using Swiss Solar IBEX 144MHC-COSMOS 450 Wp modules. According to the literature half-cut modules with 3 bypass diodes celss are divided in to the 6 equal string. I tried to model these cases (3-7):
And I got PV curves, which shows 3 cell strings:
Please specify how PVSOL program is design. Does half-cut modules cells are divided in to the 6 cell string or 3 cell string like standart modules with full cells?
Hello,
I have the same problem. When modules are unshaded, curves are not drawn. When I place objects that cast a shadow the curves are drawn. In my configuration, there is a 6 kW inverter with two strings of 12 modules on MMPT.
Hello,
I'm wondering how PVSOL software calculates electricity production with axis trackers. For example, I'm modeling single north-south axis tracking. Does PVSOL software calculates module array rotation by every day or by year? East-west axis tracker by year?
