The new generation of arrays layout module for complex terrain projects has been launched

The previous issue of "Hill-shading analysis method for complex terrain" addressed the issue of selecting sunshine regions in complex terrains. However, how to arrange arrays as much as possible within a limited area while ensuring maximum production is a highly complex problem. We cannot simply consider this issue in terms of the front row not blocking the back row during a certain period of time (although this is a conventional approach, the result is insufficient land utilization and the plan is not economical). We need to consider many issues, such as: 1) Partial arrays are allowed to be obscured, allowing for a more compact array layout; 2) If some scattered arrays block the back row, even if they are not obscured by the front row, deleting them can make the arrangement of the back row more tidy; 3) Mutual obstruction and sequence of layout between adjacent areas (such as front…

When the arrangement capacity is insufficient, how to adjust the period of time for Hill-shading analysis

For complex terrain projects, plots are usually selected based on the condition that there is no obstruction from 9 am to 3 pm. This has certain irrationalities. As shown in the following figure, due to the asymmetric orientation of the mountains in the case project, it is unreasonable to require that the mountains not obstruct each other from 9 am to 3 pm. As can be seen from the above figure: for the case project, when the capacity is insufficient, the requirement for unobstructed sunlight in the afternoon can be appropriately relaxed. Question: When the unobstructed time is adjusted from 9:00-15:00 to 9:00-14:30, will the area that passes the Hill-shading analysis increase (19.8%-16%=3.8%)? The answer is: not necessarily. This 3.8% of the area may still be blocked during other time periods. Candela3D has added a new function for Hill-shading analysis output. Please refer to the following video for details:
