Project Info

Select a convetion:

Convention 180
  • Facing toward equator and azimuth negative in the morning.
  • PVGYS use 180° North convention for both hemispheres.
Convention 360
  • E.g. convetion used in PVWatts

Notes:

  • Azimuth is converted to correct convention in PVWatts or PVGYS dialogs.

  • Sampled points in component:

    n =

    m =

  • Number of iterations in one hour:
  • Shading test (Irradiation algorithm is evaluated every day always):
    Every 15 days.
    Every day.
  • Draw shading derate:
    Use 3d Text --> Text height [L]:
  • "Non-planar surface" number of groups:
Methods "Line West-East" or "Optimun Line" insert all the solar panels with different orientations.
Skelion will arrange panels with similar orientation, making this number of groups.
Leave 0 if your model doesn't have this case.
Azimuth and tilt of the report will be the average of the group.

Save an image of your company logo with the name logo.png in Documents/Skelion. It will appear in reports.
Scene images of your model will appear in reports.
