CYPELEC PV Systems version 2022.f allows the shade factor to be set manually. To do this, the shade factor (SF) is incorporated as a parameter in the "Photovoltaic module" editing panel with a padlock that allows the value to be locked. Thus, if the padlock is open, the software analyses the shading diagram of the panel and obtains the shade factor value. On the other hand, if the shade factor is entered manually and then locked (the padlock is closed), the software will not analyse the shading diagram, and its shade factor will be defined by the manually entered value.
