Thank you very much for your time and support. I am currently considering near shading effects in my simulation for vertical façades and have imported a 3D model of my building. I would like to clarify a few points: 1) For one of the façades, the total area is approximately 7,000 m², but the PV installation will cover only a specific section of about 1,100 m². Is there a way to define or limit the PV installation area within the Near Shadings scene? 2) For this same building, I will be using two different PV module types, one for the rooftop and another for the façades. What is the correct way to model this setup in PVsyst? 3)Finally, are there any additional considerations or best practices to ensure accurate simulation results for vertical PV façade installations?

I would like to inquire about the correct procedure for simulating PV façade installations in PVsyst. I have specified the available façade area and set the tilt angle to 90°, but I am uncertain how the software interprets this configuration. Does PVsyst arrange the panels vertically on a single flat surface (side by side), or are they positioned one behind another? Additionally, is there an alternative or more accurate method to simulate façade-mounted PV systems in PVsyst?
