Simulate shadow

Learn how to do a shadow simulation in Virto.MAX.

Use the Virto.MAX shadow tool to simulate shadows on a certain day and timeframe.

This can give you a good indication of which areas to avoid. You can also automatically delete modules that are placed in shadow zones.

First, you will need to set shadow simulation to yes.

Second, choose a specific simulation date. After this you can set the timeframe anywhere between sunrise and sunset.

The last option is shaded panel removal. This allows you to choose if modules that are in a shadow zone should be deleted or not.
