Flat Roof - Off South

[asboulton]

I am trying to create a shading model for a flat roof. The building has quite a high azimuth, as such it is not preferable to install the modules in line with the building.

Is there a simple way of having the modules facing due south when the building is has an azimuth of, say 45°? Or is it necessary to place each row of modules individually (this would be very time consuming!)?

In the 3D scene, the orientation of the modules is not dependent onorientation of the building.

However if you have to put your modules not perpendiculary and to define rows of different lengths, you have indeed to define each row independently.

If the rows have the same width, you can define a lateral shift from row to row ("misalign" parameter).

Thanks for the response.

This seems very time consuming for large solar roof top installations.
