Curved area designing on PVsyst

[abdulrahman95]

I would like to know if there is any possibilities to design an object of curved area such as not a flat area in the PVsyst and place the the PV panels on top of the curved area.

If yes, can please let me know how can I do it?

Thanks

In PVsyst you can define sub-arrays for at most 8 orientations.

However this is not possible with stand alone systems yet.

abdulrahman95 ,

Is this what you mean by curved suface?

You can create a ground object which matches the terrain, then create a zone of tables/modules on top of the ground object, and then select position tables on scene. This doesnt work for every PV field (ie tracker).

I would also like to design a curved system, so I want to know if i can give a module tilt angles in two directions. Along y-z and along x-z?

Yes, if you define a "table" or an array of "tables", you have the opportunity of giving a slope to the baseline of your table.

However this will change the orientation of your plane. See the FAQ "With sheds on a tilted roof, PVsyst changes my orientation"
