Learn how do place panels on a flat roof in Virto.MAX.
Follow the steps below to place panels on a flat roof.
Module selection
First, select the roof surface on which you want start placement. After this a panel on the left will open where you can start selecting the module by filtering on things like brand or power.
You can also add a module if you don’t find the one you need by setting the name and type of module as well as the power and module dimensions.
Mounting system
You can select your mounting system of choice by using the filter option and choosing a manufacturer or filter by East-West or South facing.
You can also add a system when it’s not available in our list. The parameters required for this are the name, orientation and spacing between the modules. Additionally you can select the dilatation option to automatically create fields of a certain size with gaps in between (dilatations).
Azimuth alignment
In the azimuth alignment section you will need to define the azimuth orientation you want the modules to take.
There are 3 options:
Option 1
This option will allow the user to use the perfect azimuth or to rotate the module on the compass below to the preferred azimuth angle.
Option 2
This option will allow you to select a roof edge you want to align to. The rail system will be parallel to the parapet wall and edge of the roof.
Option 3
This option works the same as the previous with the difference that the rail system will be perpendicular to the edge of the roof and roof wall.

-
Auto fill: This option allows you to press it once to fill in all available space on the selected roof surface.
-
