Sheds optimization Tool

Overview

This tool helps to easily find the optimal values for some of the design parameters of a PV installation (especially shed-type installation for now).

It performs automatically a set of simulations, where one or more parameters are varied systematically according to a specified range.

The results of all simulations are stored, and can be viewed in a separate tab, which will plot several simulation variables as function of the varied parameters.

In contrast to the optimization tools of the 'Orientation' dialog, which perform approximations for their calculations, this tool will run a full simulation for each of the parameter settings, allowing an even more precise result.

So far, the optimization tool is only available for projects that use 'shed' PV fields in the 3D scene.

The Optimization Tool dialog contains two tabs, one to create new parametric scans, the other one to view the scans that have already been performed.
