Configuration of the PV system depending on the load and shading was created by Tiago M
Hi,
Is it possible SAM give the configuration of the PV system without tracking (tilt and azimuth of the panel, the number of panels required, inverter, etc.) that best fits the load and the shading model we introduce to it as input?

Thanks
Tiago Marques

Dear Tiago,

SAM requires those parameters as input. It is not possible for SAM to calculate optimized values for a given load or shading profile.

Best regards,
Paul.
