Dear all,

I have a question, if there is any possibility to simulate large PV Farms bigger then 7500 or 10000 PV panels?

Thank you.

Dear Aljaz,

you can simulate very large PV farms in the 2D mode, no problem. We recommend to make a pre-simulation in 3D with a subset of the modules, e.g. with 1000, depending on your PV farm layout and setup. Then simulate it and write down the yield reduction due to shading:

 

Then configure your complete PV farm in the 2D mode and enter the shading loss from the 3D simulation as shading loss in 2D:

 

Or, follow point 3) from this answer here, but at your own risk:

 

 

Hope that helps, kind regards,

Martin
