How do I plan a system with power optimizers?

[hotline_oh]

Using the example of a vent that shades two modules (with >1%):

First, define a separate module area for the two shaded modules.

1. Ensure that PV modules can be selected individually.
2. Select both modules and right-click to choose "Add to 'Define Module Areas' dialog."
3. Click "Define Module Areas for Configuration."

In the "Define Module Areas" dialog:

1. Rename the module area to "Roof Area South - shaded."
2. Import all other modules and rename them to "Roof Area South - not shaded."
3. Click "Configure."

Next, in the inverter configuration window, select both module areas and choose "Configure module areas together":

Now select the desired inverter, choose the polystring configuration (for one of the four MPP trackers), check the box for "Power optimizers," and assign the two module areas as follows:

The two modules with optimizers are then correctly assigned in the string diagram:
