Stand alone and heterogeneous

[Gareth]

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a project wich implies to simulate a stand alone system with multiple oriented PV structures, but I can simplify to two main planes for a run.

The thing is that the orientation button stay red on stand alone mode, whereas it turns green on grid connected mode.

Is there any chance to simulate a stand alone system with two planes orientations ?

I tried to change the difference angle on the hidden parameters for heterogeneous system but no change.

Any idea, or alternative to simulate that case ?

Thanks !

No sorry, in the present time the use of heterogeneous fileds is not possible with stand-alone systems.

I intend to deeply modernize the Stand-alone systems management during the next months. I will of course study this possibility.

Andre,

Have you made any advances on the off-grid/hybrid PV system portions of the software? I'm trying to size a 21 kW off-grid PV system, with a backup generator for additional autonomy, for a location that doesn't have grid power accessible. At this size of a system, I need multiple stand-alone inverters connected in parallel, but unlike the on-grid system configurator, it does not have an option to add multiple inverters. Does this mean I have to size the system for (4) 5 kW systems separately, or am I missing something? Thank you in advance for your time.
