Layout : Draw the desired PV field

➢ Either automatically by entering the number of lines

and columns wanted then by clicking on insert

➢ Either manually by clicking directly on the grey rectangles.

Especially useful for drawing PV fields with "exotic"
configurations

➢ It’s also possible to mix these two ways by first inserting a

rectangular PV field and then adding and/or removing
modules manually.
