To whom it may concern,

 

When trying to conncect two modules, i receive 2 degree error. Any idea on how to fix that?

 

Thanks a lot in advance

Hello Emre,

 

If I see it right from the screenshot then you are trying to group modules with different orientations (310° and 130°). This is not possible. Only modules with the same orientation and tilt (+/- 2°) can be gouped.

 

Best regards

we cant connct the two sides as shown in the pic. How can we change the tilt value?

Dear Emre,

 

If you plan in 3D you can use the “Configure all unconfigured modules” button in the module configuration window to select all modules.

 

 

If you are in the inverter selection window you should find your two roof areas (e.g. east and west). Please mark both by using the Control (Ctrl) key and the left mouse key. If you have done it right both areas are marked in blue and the icon "Configure selected module areas together" is activated. Click the icon and both areas will be merged. No you can select a suitable inverter.

 

 

You need to find an inverter with two or more MPP trackers. It is not possible to connect modules with a different tilt or orientation to one MPP tracker in the program.

 

Best regards

Hi,

just a short update: In the meanwhile we fully overhauled the design and simulation of PV plants with varying module areas. You can now build any configuration you want with the new 'Polystring feature'. For example:

• Two module areas on one MPP tracker
• Different module types in one string
• Parallel connection of strings with different number of modules
• etc etc
