Hi PVSYST Team, My goal is to model trackers with the terrain follower feature, for that I need that each tracker (table) or subtracker depending on the type of TF can be associated to a specific orientation, with the objective that each tracker considers a different POA and thus be possible to quantify the losses by TF (assuming that I would do the electrical calculation at the module layout level). My specific question Is it possible to make this association of tracker to orientation? and if yes, what is the correct procedure to do it? Thanks!

Hi everyone. I'm simulating the terrain in PVSyst. I divided the system into 5 sub-array orientations. In 'Main Parameters>System' I correctly correlated the number of modules for each Orientation with the number of modules in the 3D scene. However, even if the number of modules is correctly listed, the message is displayed as shown in the image below. I am unable to continue with the simulation. I already increased the area of the 3D scene and it didn't work.

Hi all, I'm currently having problem on simulating multi orientation module specifically when creating a near shading 3D scene as it mentioned "The area of the 3D fields is lower than the area of the module defined in the subarrays". I'm not sure if PVsyst didn't allow/unable to simulate for this kind of cases or there's some setting I didn't click on/adjust. My system consist of 3 diff. orientation whereas string 1 facing South & string 2 facing North + West. Under parameter already define with 3 nb of orientations & under subarrays, I only put 2 as if add another subarray specifically for another orientation, PVsyst will detect 1.5 nb of inverters & will cause an error mentioned "The inverter power is strongly oversized". I notice PVsyst detect all 16 module as 1 orientation (string 2) even though on 3D some module already facing diff orientation. Btw this simulation for Residential with below details: Inverter: Solis 3P10K (2 MPPT) Solar Panel: Canadian Solar 455W Nb of module: 29 Module layout: Sub array 1 (13 module) facing South, Sub array 2 (14 + 2 module) facing North + West. Here's another image if I separate all orientation with individual sub array. Hope someone can help on this issue & correct me if there's mistake based on image attached. Thank you!
