How to set racking type and parameters

[Marc L]

Hello. Reading the help file and watching the tutorials and reading most of the forum posts, I cannot find the answer. Question is - how to set the racking type for a simulation. Specifically whether it is roof flush, low-slope roof, or a ground array. This must be somewhere in the platform but I cannot find it. Thank you.

Dear Marc,

The racking is not considered in the simulation calculations. Perhaps you are referring to changes in temperature depending on how it is mounted in your project.

If this is the case, in the "Detailed Losses" window and under the "Thermal Parameters" tab, there are options for how your system is mounted. Please see the screenshot below:
