Feature Highlights
Photorealistic PV scenario in UE5 with modules/cells placed on a residential rooftop and a navigable environment.
- Sun & time-of-year positioning using UE’s sun/sky system to match latitude/longitude and date/time.
- Shading awareness using line tracing from each PV cell toward the sun to detect blockage by nearby geometry (terrain, buildings, trees with collision volumes), enabling scenario testing of shading losses over time.
- Prototype PV power output logic suitable for planning-phase experiments and for exporting data for analysis.
