RAOUANE LAILA

I am currently working with PVsyst version 7.4. Thank you for your response. In my case, I only have the total number of strings and the number of modules in series per string. Could you please guide me on how to calculate or estimate the appropriate number of sheds from this information? Is there a rule of thumb or a formula to follow based on the electrical layout (e.g. 24 modules per string, 3058 strings in total)? I would like to make sure that the "Number of sheds" I enter corresponds realistically to the physical arrangement of the system in the field. Best regards, Laila Raouane

Dear PVsyst team, In the Orientation → Unlimited sheds section, it's mentioned that the "Number of sheds" is only for visualization and does not affect simulation results. However, I noticed that changing this number (e.g. from 5 to 12) slightly alters the energy yield and PR, even when mutual shading is disabled and all other parameters (pitch, tilt, GCR, etc.) stay the same. Could you please clarify: How should we choose or calculate the number of sheds? Why does it impact the results if it's only for display? Could internal parameters (like edge effects or area estimation) be influenced? Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, Raouane Laila
