Difference in the fields azimuth PVSyst versus PVCase


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi PVSyst Team,

I would like to know how to change the PVCase Fields azimuth from tilted axis to horizontal axis. Or is this predetermined by PVCase? The tracking model to be used in my project is the ATI DuraTrack HZ v3 (see specs below)

If your trackers have any N-S tilt it will show tilted axis for the 3D scene. Horizontal axis is orientation type in Pvsyst. You would not want to change it to horiz. axis if your scene is 3D and you want to account for slopes in your tracker tables. Run (or re-run) the shading table, and it should update to tilted axis for Orient/System. You may need to go back into the orientation menu (to make sure it updates there and the tilt updates if it is non-zero average tilt) after generating the shading table , saving it, and exiting the shading menu for it to then update in the orientation menu.
