💡
If you have more than 2 array’s, we recommend averaging the azimuth and tilt of the two closest arrays. If you find the values the estimated actuals are off, please continue to modify the parameters until the values are as accurate as possible.
💡
If you see an error that the second site location is outside of the permitted distance, please try deleting the original site, and re-add it using latitude and longitude or the address, and then add the second site location.
