Shading parameters
Variant menu:
System Definition > Collector Array > Parameters > Shading > Parameters
On the Parameters page, enter a new reference for every new shade.
You can also select With Shade from Above, if the collectors, for example, are mounted on a facade with roof overhangs or similar.
Upper limiting angle: If the solar altitude is higher than the upper limiting angle, the whole collector array is shaded.
Lower limiting angle: If the solar altitude is lower than the upper limiting angle, the collector array is not shaded.
If the solar altitude is higher than the lower limiting angle and lower than the upper limiting angle, irradiation to the collector array is reduced proportionally.
The angle entries for the azimuth relate to the south. East is entered as -90° and West as +90°.
