Ground Clearance Height was created by andrew.hoyt

For fixed tilt systems - is the "ground clearance height" value measured from top of grade to the bottom/lowest edge of the module?

Hi Andrew,

The ground clearance height is an input for bifacial modules on the Module input page.

For fixed arrays with no tracking, the ground clearance height is the distance between the ground and the bottom edge of modules closest to the ground. For arrays with one-axis tracking, the ground clearance height is the distance between the ground and back of modules when the modules are horizontal to the ground.

Best regards,
Paul.
