Opens the Renewables dialog where PV and Wind generator renewables can be specified.
The following PV (photovoltaic panels) technologies are available for simulation in the tool:
· Monocrystalline silicon
· Polycrystalline silicon
· Amorphous silicon
· Other thin films
The typical efficiencies and parameters for these different technologies are already available, allowing an early conceptual analysis. The data can then be replaced by the products parameters as provided by the manufacturers.
The orientation and inclination of the panels can be indicated, as well as other parameters, allowing the software to determine the electricity generated by the panels. The shading factor of the panel needs to be determined individually; for users of Suncast, this analysis can be conducted in this module so as to determine a precise value of this parameter.
