AJCarr Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I would like to put PV on a curved surface but i can work out how to give it tilt angles in two directions. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtarin Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Create the curved surface, import into PVsyst as ground data, drop modules onto the curved surface (under edit > set auto altitude). Use a .csv file with coordinates X, Y, Z (in meters) which define your surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Mermoud Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 You cannot define curved surfaces in PVsyst. You have to create a set of planar surfaces, and use the option "Orientation > Several orientations". However be aware that each orientation should be treated independently (on a different inverter MPP input). You can eventually mix 2 orientations (the orientations #1 and #2) on one MPP input. In you case you have to do some approximations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtarin Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 By curved surface I meant import ground data (.csv) which approximates a curved surface to give his modules tilt and baseline slope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Mermoud Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Yes you can define a terrain by (X,Y,Z) coordinates. See the help "Project design > Shadings > Near Shadings: Import > CSV Ground data"And you can distribute PV tables on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
