Beam linear loss and module loss

[Gayathridevi]

What is beam linear loss and module loss, in shadow animation?

[André Mermoud]

Please see our FAQ What is the shading loss "according to module strings" ?

Hi all,

From given values of shading limit angle, altitude angle, solar azimuth angle for very hour in a day , what formula do i use or how i can calculate shading factor for beam, diffuse and albedo component.

Then what formula can i use to calculate diffuse horizontal from global horizontal radiation when global horizontal radiation data is given for every 15 mins in a day.what formula PVsyst uses to calculate the above

[André Mermoud]

The diffuse fraction is computed using a model (Liu-Jordan or Erbs, Perez-Ineichen, or others, described in the literature).

The solar angles calculations are detailed in the help of PVsyst (Chapter "Physical models used").

The shading factor for beam is a calculation in 3D geometry, for a given sun's position.

The shading factor on diffuse and albedo are integrals of this shading factor over the sky dome "seen" by the PV system.

All these calculations are complex and cannot be obtained just from a formula.
