Hi,
I started to planed an open field power-plant. There is some shadowing effect because of the low distance between the rows. I wanted to compare two possible solution with direction of stings layout (3 separate horizontal sting and 3 string in vertical direction).
I attached the vertical project’s file. I deployed a wall (it is the cause of shadow) and 3x23 mounted pv panels. I thought horizontal direction should have produced more energy then vertical because the shadow effect only one-third (1 string) of total area, not 3 string.
But the result was unbelievable because vertical project yearly yield was a little bit higher.
I don’t understand this situation, are you sure that the software working well?
thanks in advanced to help,
Norbert
