Can you override the active area to collector area ratio?

[EllenTB]

Good afternoon -

I am in a situation where my modules are widely spaced and the collector area I'm modeling for near shadings is small in comparison to the active area I specified for shading impacts. Is there a work-around to avoid the following error?

"The active area is far larger than the PV-field collector area"

Thanks

Yes. the limit is in the hidden parameters.

In the main menu, option "Preferences" / "Edit Hidden parameters" / "Detailed Simulation Verification Conditions", topic "Shadings: Absolute maximum Shadings/Field Area ratio".
