Model integrated solar panels on curved bulding

[Thomas D H]

Hi, i was wondering if it is possible to model BIPV for curved buildings in PV*SOL? Correct me if i am wrong, but the 3 modelling of curved buildings is not possible in PV*SOL, but i was thinking of doing the sketch either in AutoCad or Sketchup and uploading the file. It does not have to be BIPV, but can be solar panels placed on a racket. 

 

Thanks for answers in advance!

Hi Thomas,

in PV*SOL it is not possible to place modules or a module mounting on curved surfaces. You'll have to split the surface into small elements with even surfaces, large enough to place PV modules onto it.

Kind regards,
