Blender Photovoltaic power plant Generator
Presentation:
A toolset of geometry nodes and instances to achieve various solar stations on any ground.
Version: Blender 4.2 LTS and +
Maps are packed within the blender file.
Content:
One scene with five collections, each one is an example setup for laying solar panels:
Flat terrain (no raycast)
relief terrain (raycast on terrain)
Roof (variation of flat terrain with specific instances)
Orientable 1 Axis (specific instances, raycast available)
Orientable 2 Axis (specific instances, raycast available)
Update:
It's a major 1.5 update of the previous 1.0 version.
-two new orientable solar fields
-one new set of solar cells maps
-Optimized instances with less polygons, fixed errors.
How to use it:
See example collections. All included instances are to fit and tile in 10x10 meters squares, they are distributed on face centers only.
Note: If you have a slow computer, depending on the size of the solar field, you might avoid enabling instances on screen and keep them for render only.
