bkn Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hello, guysI have a doubt on backtracking in PVsyst 6.7.8 The configuration I am using is below (bifacial + tracking system with backtracking)Input parameters - Main parameters - Orientation - Field type - Horiz. axis, unlimited trackers + backtracking selectedInput parameters - Main parameters - System - Select the PV module - bifacial system - Unlimited Tracker 2D model - Orientation parameters - Uses backtracking selected I find it confusing what different between two options of backtracking.It is observed that both selected, either of two backtracking options selected, none of them selected give me different result.Could anyone give me an clear explanation of it, please?Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtarin Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 My guess is that one is for the shading loss and transposition calculations, etc, and the one located in the bifacial section is for the bifacial calculation. Checking all, one, or none in that case would give you a different result in each of the three scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkn Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Hello, SolarguruThanks for your info.Accordingly, monofacial + backtraking: select backtracking only in orientation tabbifacial + backtracking: select backtracking both in orientation tab and in bifacial tabThen, backtracking selected only in bifacial tab would not any make sense.is it reasonable to think in this way?

dtarin Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I would think so. It 'd be ideal if the option in the bifacial option syncd with what is selected in orientation parameters/shade scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkn Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Agree with you.One doubt,What is the way to ask some topic or request directly to PVsyst team? since I am a new in PVsyst forum, I do not know how to approach to them.I saw some topics replied by PVsyst team while, other are not replied by PVsyst team. This cause me to have this doubt.Thanks Solarguru and have a good day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
