Insert an element in the system

Insert an element in the system

 

Selecting a node of the schema of the system, with the right mouse button you can have the context menu that offers items which you can add to the node. Only displays features that you can apply to the element of the system represented by the node, if for example, you select an inverter, you can only connect panels or strings.

Once you select an element to add is displayed window that allows you to:

  • Give a name to the element, each element of the system must have a different name

  • Choose the amount

  • Choose the appropriate model

If you accept the operation by the Ok button the program will insert the elements chosen in the scheme of system.

For DC and AC electrical panels, the program offers two modes of input: The command Add panel and the command Insert panel. These commands are different because the first connects the panel to the element of the system and is placed in parallel to any other elements already present. In the second case, the panel is still connected to the element from which is created, but all the existing elements are going to connect to the new panel just created.

In the insertion of elements in the system is necessary to be aware of some controls that the program makes to maintain the accuracy and consistency of the scheme.

  • Control on inputs of the element, if you are connecting an element to an inverter (panel or string) This operation is allowed only if the inverter will have a sufficient number of DC inputs free.

  • To the electricity grid can be connected or a single inverter or an electrical AC panel, if you try to connect more than one inverter to the grid will be automatically entered a main electrical panel AC (of course you can have a single inverter and a main electrical panel).
