SUPPORT SYSTEM AND PROGRAM FOR INSTALLING PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER GENERATOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a support system for installing a photovoltaic power generator that can speedily and easily determine a type and layout of photovoltaic modules suitable for an installation surface shape.

SOLUTION: The support system for installing a photovoltaic power generator includes: display means for displaying an installation surface image including the installation surface on which the photovoltaic modules are to be installed and a gauge disposed on the installation surface and whose actual dimensions are known, the installation surface being a region of a finite area; installation surface input means for receiving inputs for specifying the installation surface on the installation surface image displayed on the display means; installation surface shape specification means for specifying the installation surface shape on the basis of the dimensions of the gauge in the installation surface image; and module determination means for determining a type and layout of the photovoltaic modules suitable for the installation surface shape.
