I/we fully support this topic/request for an update. Many other tools on the market now support 1/5/15/30 min data which is incredibly important for capturing variable irradiance. For example, running a test/evaluation in alignment with IEC 61724-3 will not be very accurate without subhourly considerations, particularly at higher dc/ac ratios. Thanks, Dan

Partitions were defined as 3 string trackers. I was able to partially solve this issue by taking the following steps. 1. Change hidden parameters > Sites and Meteo > "Threshold Shd factor from Table for modules activation", "Threshold Shd factor from Calc. for modules activation", and Simulation : Beam threshold for electrical losses" all to zero (0). 2. Run the same shading scene with "Fast (table) calculation" activated. This results in significant electrical shadings loss shown in both the loss tree and 8760 hourly output. These losses are in line with the shading table calculated from the shading scene. HOWEVER, running the same simulation with "Slow (simul) calculation" activated results in zero (0) electrical shadings loss in both the loss tree and 8760 hourly output. Why is it that the slow/simul/non interpolated calculation method neglects electrical shading losses? Are there more hidden parameters which should be adjusted to allow the Slow (simul) calculation to capture electrical shadings from objects on a backtracking tracker? Fast (table) calculation now shows electrical loss. Hidden parameters for electrical shadings

Trying several versions of PVsyst, I have a shade scene with tall pole structures as shading objects. Simulating as "According to Module Strings: 100%" does not produce a noticeable difference from "linear shadings" even though the shading diagram in the report shows a noticeable change. Is there a reason why thin pole shading structures are not leading to noticeable loss in the "Electrical Shadings" loss category?

A previously addressed error seems to again exist in 6.74. An OND file with a set Pnom value may be exceeded as seen in the 8760 output "EOutInv". This was particularly seen in systems with multiple inverters.

Guidance on this topic is still in need. Thanks in advance.
