What is shading analysis?

A shading analysis evaluates the shading effect on photovoltaic modules caused by objects such as trees or buildings. It shows you exactly which modules are being shaded and when. The result: You find the optimal module layout and can maximize the yield of your PV system. The analysis takes into account horizon shading and object shading at module and string levels.

How does shading analysis work with autarc?

autarc uses real 3D drone models for precise shading simulations. You upload your drone photos and receive a detailed analysis of all sources of shade. The system calculates shadow losses at module and string level. In this way, you can find the optimal module layout and compare different planning variants. The analysis is carried out automatically and provides immediately usable results.

Step 1: Upload drone photos
Step 2: Generate 3D model
Step 3: Simulate shading
Step 4: Analyze results
