This occurs on uneven terrain. For example, in a plant with east-to-west slopes and a homogeneous pitch, shadows can differ significantly between morning and afternoon. To minimize shading, it's common to set a lower (fictitious) backtracking pitch than the real one when the tracker is facing uphill (either east or west, depending on the case). I know I could simulate this using two separate PVsyst simulations and then combine the results, but of course, it would be better if this could be configured directly in PVsyst. Thanks!

Hello PVsyst team, I would like to suggest a topic regarding the possibility to set different backtracking strategies for the morning and the afternoon. This request is based on real parameter settings provided by manufacturers for PV plants, and it would be helpful to reflect this functionality within PVsyst. Is this something you are considering implementing in a future update? Thank you, Alessia

Hello, about the value "global incident on ground" and the relative surface area (see image below): How is the "global incident on ground" value calculated? How is the relative surface area calculated? Thanks, Alessia
