### Structure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The parameters of the structure supporting the PV modules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- StructureType: which type of structure for the PV modules
|
|
|
|
- Material: used to apply texture to the structure (e.g. Wood, Metal)
|
|
|
|
- PanelsPerGroup: Number of panels per pole in the structure
|
|
|
|
- PoleShape: shape of the pole profile (Square, Rectangle, Cylinder)
|
|
|
|
- PoleWidth: Pole size along x (used in case of square or rectangular pole)

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run simulations, PASE needs these four weather variables :
|
|
|
|
- global horizontal irradiance [W/m²]
|
|
|
|
- air temperature [°C]
