<\/a><\/p>\nLoad EPW file from https:\/\/www.ladybug.tools\/epwmap\/<\/a><\/p>\n Use FilePath to get the file from where it has been stored.<\/p>\n Connect the SunPath<\/p>\n We add a date, to start it will be a single date, but we will work a period a time afterwards.<\/p>\n We evaluate Direct Sun hours<\/p>\n Geometry is the surface to be calculated, Context refers so objects casting Shadows<\/p>\n Connections<\/p>\n We run<\/p>\n This is the result for a single day June, the 21st<\/sup> at 10 am<\/p>\n Now we check for the same day from 6am to 6pm<\/p>\n And we have quantities. For every square of the grid, a total of direct sun hours<\/p>\n The have the total we can have a Mass addition<\/p>\n We will search which orientation is best for a solar panel. To get faster results, we will only test two orientations<\/p>\n We add the LB Incident Radiation Component and its dependences<\/p>\n A Solar Panel is created, and we will git it the possibility to rotate X axes and then Y axes to find the better orientation<\/p>\n This is the solar panel<\/p>\n This how we can prepare the rotations<\/p>\n To go faster, we will investagate every 5\u00b0 between -90 to +90. For that we prepare the slider as shown below. 18*5=90. So we go from -18 to +18 by 5<\/p>\n The Solar Panel becomes the new geometry, the grid has to be reduced, we try every 0.25m<\/p>\n We test for one day, one orientation<\/p>\n Ok, for one day, let test the best orientation<\/p>\n We add Galapagos component. Genome goes to the Slider and Fitness to the mass addition number obtained from the results.<\/p>\n Double click on Galapagos, we choose Maximize, because we are searching for the best result<\/p>\n Then Solvers, start Solvers<\/p>\n As our ground is pretty free from constructions, with no surprise, the best orientation here is horizontal (and we\u2019re in June !!)<\/p>\n Other orientation\u2026Facing south the best orientation is 20\u00b0<\/p>\n Please evaluate <\/strong>this lesson par filling the survey HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n This is a quick set up to understand how to orient solar panels for maximum efficiency using Galapagos’ generative capacities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12659,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,190,14,195,448,87,8,26,174,200],"tags":[510,175,516,512,515,451,47,514,237,513],"class_list":["post-12636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-3d","category-architecture-2","category-conception","category-creation","category-grasshopper","category-linkedin","category-methodologie","category-production","category-simulations","category-solaire","tag-galapagos","tag-grasshopper","tag-incident","tag-ladybug","tag-radiation","tag-rhino","tag-simulation","tag-solar-panel","tag-sun","tag-sunpath"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.keris-studio.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.keris-studio.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.keris-studio.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.keris-studio.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.keris-studio.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12636"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.keris-studio.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12636\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13060,"href":"https:\/\/www.keris-studio.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12636\/revisions\/13060"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.keris-studio.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.keris-studio.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.keris-studio.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.keris-studio.fr\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nAdding a solar panel<\/h1>\n
