Array annual shading loss

The "Array annual shading loss" is used to calculate the percentage of shading loss for each array throughout one year, as well as the total radiation excluding the shading loss.

Shading loss includes: shading loss of direct radiation, scattered radiation and reflection radiation.

"Terrain shading included": If user check this option, the speed of calculation will be slower.

In the image above, for example, the value of the horizontal axis of the bar chart is 4.0, that means the proportion of the arrays within the range of 4.0 to 5.0.

Users can choose to analyze all or selected zones, and after the calculation is completed, the annual shading loss percentage will be displayed. User can press "TABLE" to display the total annual radiation excluding shading loss.

User can move the cursor over the array to view its shading loss or total radiation excluding shading loss.

The right-click menu allows for marking specified arrays, deleting marked arrays, and exporting shading loss data.

Whether the bar chart displays "Shading loss distribution" or "Radiation (shading loss excluded) distribution", by using the "export data" function, user can export the shading loss and the total radiation excluding shading loss of each array.
