SUPPORT SYSTEM AND PROGRAM FOR INSTALLING PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER GENERATOR
First Claim
1. A support system for installing a photovoltaic power generator comprising:
- display means for displaying an installation surface image including an installation surface on which 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 an 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.
