Solar Study Problems

old forum

Hi Everyone,

I’m new to Grasshopper and Ladybug tool. I need to do a solar study for a house for hosting PV systems.

I was trying to use the lady bug and I followed the tutorials for solar radiation and sun path but for some reason it didn’t work and no results show up. I have attached the file and any help you could provide would be very very highly greatly appreciated :):):).

Hista,

Attached a working file.

There were a lot of different issues: Connecting wrong outputs to input components, changing names of outputs, rhino file in mm while the dimensions were in meters. But now is working.

Hi Hista,
Just an addition to Abraham’s great reply:
Ladybug has components for direct analysis of PV systems.
