Shading simulation using Dual cells module(144 cells)

[Luciano Nadai]

Hi everybody,

I was working in a project with many objects(air conditioning, trees..) that can cause shadow/losses, so I did two differents simulations, first one using 72 cells modules and second one using 144 cells(for example Canadian solar CS3U-330P).

And I have not seen any differences between these two scenarios. In shading animation tool, using 144 cells, even the shadow affect just a little piece of module, the whole module is affected and is shown as "yellow color". I was expected that just half module could be affected, once these modules are 72 cells in parallel ! I really I did not understand the results !!!!

Hello Luciano

I have just the same problem tham you. Have you discover what is the proper method for simulaitng this kind of modules with PVsyst?

Hello Carolina,

I have no idea of ​​the method used by PVsyst to simulate these modules(144 cells). I hope PVsyst team can explain it because up to now I can not see the advantanges of using dual cells modules.

Best regards,

Luciano

This is not yet implemented.

Please see the FAQ How are managed the new "twin-modules" with half cells.
