Hello, I didn't want to create a new post for this small question. Is it acceptable to generate horizon line diagram using an image off google? I used this image in Meteonorm 7 to generate a *.hor file that i can input in PVsyst. This is what i generated... I cannot make a site visit and so I'm forced to use a google image. Also in PVsyst help it says 'Synthetic model cannot know the horizon line and will create dummy hourly values below the horizon' What does this mean? I'm using synthetic hourly data, I do not have 'original' monthly values to generate hourly files with horizon correction. Should I continue with my file or do the simulations with a clear horizon?

Hello Andre, I have tried to contact the engineers to get detailed calculations but have not received any response from them. I have completed the 3D scene with several variations. However I was having difficulty distributing the strings among 4 inverters with 8 orientations so I had to reduce the number to 4 orientations. 4 orientations With this current 4 orientation model I am able to achieve a system close to the original with 359 modules ( original has 363 modules ), The string layout I think is hard to replicate and since the engineers wont get back to me, I have to proceed with what I have. The aim of my project was to find out mismatch losses because of the shape of the building ( google - Oseana, Norway), but now that I'm simulating with 4 different orientations with no strings crossing over into different orientations(impossible in PVsyst) I don't know how to proceed. Do you have any suggestion for studying mismatch?

Hello guys, its my first post on the forum. I'm having quite some difficulty in replicating an existing system on PVsyst for research purposes. You can see the String layout here and the actual building below https://www.google.no/search?q=Oseana&biw=1680&bih=949&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiWz_K8jfrLAhVCuxQKHdcmBsMQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=fOlDxxj0NPASKM%3A As you can see the number of modules in Strings is not the same and the Strings are in anywhere from 2 to 6 rows depending on which string you consider. My issue arises when I can't place modules belonging to a string in two different orientations. It makes no sense to do that because it would cause mismatch losses but that is exactly what I want to study. I don't see a way to do this in PVsyst.
