How does a large ratio between the sensitive area and the collector area affect the shading results?

I'm going to simulate near shading on a system with modules that are widely separated on a facade, but I keep getting this error message:

"The active area is far larger than the PV-field collector area"

I know that I can deactivate it in the hidden parameters but will the shading simulation be faulty if the ratio between the sensitive area and the collector area is too large?

You can determine the discrepancy by yourself, by defining your field

- either as a whole,

- and as seperate PV modules (one rectangular field per module) if they are significantly spaced (and not too numerous).
