Orientations management version 8 on a hilly terrain

[buffelkip]

Hi,

I am simulating a large-scale ground mounted PV project with fixed tilt orientation. Due to the slope of the terrain, each PV table has a slightly different orientation. 

When importing the H2P file, I get the error as shown below. 

In Version 7, I remember I was able to adjust the tolerance in the Orientations Management tab. That seems not possible now. Could you please let me know how to resolve this? Many thanks!

Hello,

It seems to be linked to one of the new tolerances put in the new version that when the angle between your average orientation and at least one of your PV table is too high compared to the settings of your projects.

To fix this error you need to increase this tolerance. From the main window of your project, click on "Project settings" at the top of the screen:

Then you need to select the "Other limitations" tab and increase the value of the "Maximum orientation difference for defining average (spread) orientation" parameter:

Once the value has been increased the error should disappear.
