The introduction of the "String" concept in the program means that when it comes to calculating and generating the shading diagram of the solar panels, users can select whether they want to do this per string or per panel. For this purpose, there are two options in the shading calculation:
- Calculating the shading factor per panel
The program calculates each panel's independent shading factor. - Calculating the shading factor per string
The program calculates each panel's shading factor individually and applies the most unfavourable shading factor to all the panels in the string.
