Parent System with three feeder child systems, each with its own (different) azimuth
I have had experience with PVOutput now for a while, with two child systems, each with its own Inverter, handling an East & West array (each with its own MPPT), feeding a parent system.
The configuration is:
Inverter 1: String A – West 12 PVs, and String C – East 6 PVs, and
Inverter 2: String B – West 14 PVs, and String D – East 6 PVs.
Now I am in the situation of finalising the installation of a system at a new residence, with three child systems, each feeding a single-phase inverter with two MPPTs, feeding into a three-phase grid connection. The PVs feeding the inverters face East, North, and West, feeding the Red, White, and Blue phases respectively.
The configuration will be:
Strings A & B – East 21 PVs,
Strings C & D – North 15 PVs, and
Strings E & F – West 21 PVs.
The issue I am facing is how do I create the Parent system in PVOutput, to consolidate the production data, when there is not the ability to have more than the Primary and a Secondary array?
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
