Hi, Andre It is written in page53 in the tutorial that the shading factor is one for no shadings. The tutorial was written by January 2014 for PVSYST6 and it is now available online. Thank you for your reply. Sincerely, Kumiko

Hi, Andre Thank you for your reply. I have two more questions. In your reply, the shading factor is the ratio of shaded area. Does the shading factor =1 mean that the point is fully shaded ? (But in the tutorial, the factor=1 is no shadings.) In the tutorial, the shading factor table is for the positions on the sky hemisphere "seen" by PV plane (page 53) . It's like the "Height" depends on the tilt of PV plane. Does the "Height" mean the degree depndindg on the tilt of a PV plene or simply sun height? Sincerely, Kumiko

Hello, I have a question about Shading factor. The more I broaden the pitch of the array, the lower the factor becomes. In the 3D shading scene,I only draw arrays. So I think the factor gets higher because there is no shading obstacle without arrays. Is there any misunderstanging about Shading factor? Please teach me.
