Hello,
When PVsyst 8 was released I was able to run a complex carport PV simulation using the bifacial model (see attached report).
It consists of 2 orientations but actually I defined 5 orientations because although the southern carports share the same orientations, their table widths are different.
I took advantage of the new bifacial model features of PVsyst 8 in regards to the pitch and number of rows defined by the user for the cases when you don't have an unlimited-sheds type of array.
However, now with 8.0.13 version when I try to run again the simulation (because I need to get an 8760 file), I'm not able to run the simulation with the bifacial model anymore. I got the following errors for all orientations except for orientation #1.
I don't understand why I'm getting this pushback, when we haven't modified anything to the original PRJ.
In fact, when I try to modify the bifacial model values (such as tilt, pitch, width, and so on) for those orientations, PVsyst doesn't save that information and applies a generic 25° tilt a 0° azimuth, when in reality all arrays have a 5° tilt in System and 3D definitions. See an example for orientation #2 (-41.5° azimuth).
I would really appreciate any advice on this issue.
Thanks!
