2 months agoThere is. I do it, it’s my job as a solar engineer.
Basically, there are several leading softwares that solar engineers use to account for just about anything that happens in the real world.
I mainly use PVsol premium where I 3d model each site and the panel placements and electrical components and so on, then run a minute scale simulation based on the exact location weather data (using Metronorm 8.3)…
Almost no one outside my field understands what goes into my job. It doesn’t help that there’s a lot of untrained people pretending to do what I do…
If only there would have been any early signs that this could happen.
Why didn’t anyone say anything? Try to warn people!?
Oh well, at least this is the final step and it’s only gonna get better from now on. /s
