PV Mounting Specific Temp. Correction: Array Rows only = 1 or 0 was created by Len Loomans

When using this method for calculating module temp, the "Columns of Modules in the Array" can be set to any #, but the "Rows..." can only be set to 0 or 1. Since 0 rows makes no sense, only 1 row can be selected. Is this intentional?

Would seem that as the size of the contiguous array (columns x rows) increases, the ave. module temp. would rise accordingly, since the air circulation and heat dissipation under the array would be diminished.

Thanks, Len
