Shading created by PV array on top of roof
Good morning,
I was adding PV panels to my OS model in OS on the roof and I was wondering if some of you have dealt with the shading effect that this array will have on the building's roof. Is there a way to model this in OS or would the simulation will assume that some shading effect is present by way of having a "second" roof of PV panels? Will this have an impact on the total load of a building?
I found this solution to modeling PV in OS -at the time (Apr/15), OS did not directly support PV- perhaps this is what I am looking for https://unmethours.com/question/4331/... does anyone has any input on this?
Thank you very much!

Here is the before image with the user script dialog displayed. Before you call the script select the surfaces you want to apply it to.
Here is the after image. A texture is used to identify where PV is associated with surfaces.
