building of a curved surface area

[abdulrahman95]

Hi,

I am a student doing a project on solar system and my building roof is a curved area.I would like to ask you if anyone can give me a hint of how to build a curved surface area in the PV SYST and place the PV panels on top of the curved a surface. I tried by choosing a portion of a cylinder but when I placed the 4 large Rectangular PV panels on the top of it. I got an error and it says that the orientation of the panels cannot take more than 2 panels.

Thanks,

Abdulrahman

In PVsyst V 6, you can define up to 8 orientations. In the version 5, this was limited to 2 different orientations only.

Hello Abdulrahman,

Can you please tell us which version of PVsyst you are using, and also attach a screenshot of the error you get ?
