Trackers of HCPV was created by Princess_Zaynab
Hello Paul,

Please I want to have more explications about trackers in HCPV simulations:

Tracker elevation limits (deg) min max
Tracker azimuth limits (deg) min max


If I put
Tracker elevation limits (deg) min 0 max 0
Tracker azimuth limits (deg) min 50 max 310
I will be modelizing only one tracker?

Can I put what I want in the values min and max?

Thanks in advance,
Zaynab

Dear Zaynab,

If you want to model a single tracker, you should use the "Number of trackers" input on the Array page, and set it to 1 for a single tracker.

The angle limits determine how far the tracker is allowed to rotate. You can use the default values unless you have a reason to change them. For the "tracker elevation angle limits" input, you should use values between 0 and 90 degrees.

Best regards,
Paul.
