What units do I use to describe the physical geometry dimensions? Meters, pixels, or what? I can't believe you don't have it in the model.

Hello,

I think your question is about the photovoltaic models' 3D shade calculator.

You can use any measurement units for the dimensions of objects in the shading scene. Just be sure to use the same units for all of the objects so that their relative sizes and positions are consistent.

Best regards,
Paul.
