Azimut for southern hemisphere projects

[Mguevara]

Hello,

Hope someone can help me with defining the azimut and tilt angle in the design part of PVsyst. We develop projects in the southern hemisphere so theoreticaly we should aim our solar modules to the North. Should I insert a value of 180° of azimut in the "orientation" sheet? or the software automatically re-defines the azimut axis when I define a project location (In the southern hemisphere) in the "project" sheet and therefore I should let the azimut value in 0°. I'm using version 5.74.

Also, i think the azimut that is showed in the far horizont obstacles part, he one in the transposition chart tool and the one defined in the gobal tilted plane radiation tables are contrary, what I'm not seeing?

Kind Regards,

Miguel

For the orientations definitions in PVsyst, please see the FAQ

PVsyst will not redfefine the azimuth you have chosen of course.
