Pitch vs Backtracking Pitch

[herminator]

HI,

I have noticed that once introducing the pitch as 5.65m for SAT with backtracking I got a difference it the report as below:

5.65!=5.69

 

What is the reason as in the trackers and ground parameters I also have 5.65m.

Please advise why there difference and what can be an impact on final yield.

Regards-Maciej

Have you defined a frame size?

It may be related to a new bug that affects PVsyst when importing 3D scenes: the backtracking parameters are not always updated.
Until we have corrected the bug, you can go to the 3D scene and open Tools > Backtracking management. There you can select a tracker in the list or enter the values manually.

Hi both,

Thank you for the prompt reply. It seems that this is bug in the reporting section. I guess it doesn't affect results.

@herminator are you sure that it is only in the report?
As mentioned these values should come from the 3D scene > Tools > Backtracking management, and these are important for the simulation. I woudl suggest double checking that.

Thank you Michele.

I will double check it and let you know.
