The irradiance is the amount of solar energy incident on the
photovoltaic modules, which can be converted into electrical energy.
The location of installation of the system allows to obtain the data
of irradiance, obtained on a statistical basis, on a horizontal
plane; the orientation of the modules and the shadings allow the
program to calculate the average irradiance monthly on the plane of
the modules and then the calculation of the electricity produced by
the system.
Since BlueSol is able to manage systems with multiple orientations of
the modules, it will be possible to choose, among the various
orientations provided inside the system, that for which you want to
know the irradiance on the plane of the modules.
Upon variation of:
Location,
Orientation of the modules,
Shadings.
BlueSol calculates:
Radiation annual, amount of
solar energy, expressed in kWh/m² per year, incident on the
plane of oriented modules, regardless of the presence of shade.
Radiation annual net, amount
of solar energy, expressed in kWh/m² per year, incident on the
plane of oriented modules, considering the presence of shade.
Loss shading, percentage of
loss of sun irradiance on the module plane, due to shading.
Distribution of losses due to shading,
charts that represent the monthly distribution of the absolute
values and the percentage of losses due to shadows caused by near
objects and horizon profile (far shadows).
