Shadow Avoidance
By check [Shadow Avoidance], you can layout PV arrays avoiding shadow of specified time and date.
Measurement ： Yearly, Monthly, Daily
Date ： When you select monthly or daily measurement, please set a month or date.
Minimum Effective Time ： Set hour, which the PV arrays should be exposed by sunlight for.
Ex) by setting like upwards, this application will calculate the shadow on 22nd of December and PV arrays will be
hours.. On the other hand, the
laid out the place where the arrays will not be covered by shadow for more than 3 hours
PV arrays will not be laid out the place where the arrays will not be covered by shadow for less than 2 hours that
means the arrays will be exposed by sunlight for less than 2 hours.
Specify Capacity
Number of Modules ： The specified number of modules will be laid out.
System size ： The layout allows up to specified size.
System size is module’s size times the

L(n)
L(n) …The coplanar distance between the start point of circuit and the junction box.
S(n) …The cable length which connects the start point of circuit and the junction box.
E(n) …The cable length which connects the end point of circuit and the junction box.
w …The width of array
h1 …The height from the lowest point to the highest point of a module ( = a * sin θ)
h2 …The height from the ground to the lowest point of a module.
h3 …The cable length which connects the ground and underground.
C … The total length of cables which connects modules and junction boxes.
S(n) = L(n) + 2(h1 + h2 + h3)
E(n) = L(n) + w + 2(h1 + h2 + h3)
C = S(1) + E(1) + … + S(n) + E(n)
