JamesLenton Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Hi guys, I am attempting to define tables in the 3D scene which are 3 in portrait but in some cases are 'missing a module(s). The string length is 28 and the site was filled with these 3 table sizes for 1, 2, and 3 strings. This leads to the 1 and 2 string tables having non equal number of modules on each row. Is there an easy way to do this in PVsyst, without defining a small table and then adding 1 or 2 modules by themselves? Any suggestions are appreciated!

Muhammed Sarikaya Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Dear James, Could you please share a screenshot of your system? It's unclear why some modules are missing. Regards, Muhammed Sarikaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesLenton Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 Hi Muhammed, Sorry I can't share that. It is where smaller tables have been used to fill the more narrow parts of the available land - and the table sizes that were used for this are shown in the image I posted. I think it was so the table sizes were in 1, 2, and 3 strings. James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muhammed Sarikaya Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Dear James, Can you explain your procedure for creating this table so I can understand what went wrong? Regards, Muhammed Sarikaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesLenton Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 I think my use of the work 'missing' is confusing things. The actual design was made this way, and I am trying to replicate it. And I am wondering if were is an easy way of doing this. Thanks, James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muhammed Sarikaya Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Dear James, I understand what you want to do. You need to create a polygonal PV plane. Then, right-click to delete one or more modules when you position the mouse over a PV module. Regards, Muhammed Sarikaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesLenton Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 Hi Muhammed, Thank you so much for your help! I just didn't look hard enough to find that tool! Have a good weekend, James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesLenton Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Hi Muhammed, I have added the polygonal fields to my 3D scene, however I am now getting an error with the bifacial system definition: "not all you table widths are identical - system not suited for bifacial 2D model computation". Can you not define bifacial modules for polygonal PV planes? Best, James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muhammed Sarikaya Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Dear James, Polygonal tables are not suitable for bifacial systems. I suggest using a full table, but be aware that your shading calculation might be slightly higher than the actual value. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesLenton Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Thanks for updating me. Is this something that will change as PVsyst version 8 is released? When can we expect more information on version 8? Best, James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muhammed Sarikaya Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Dear James, This feature is planned for version 8. Our community will receive information about the version 8 soons. Regards, Muhammed Sarikaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
