I am trying the bifacial radiance tool which is python wrapper to radiance developed by NREL that provides a set of functions and classes for simulating the performance of bifacial PV systems. I have gone through the examples provided in bifacial radiance library package and those are working as shown in the jupyter notebook files.
I am trying to include a Module Mounting structure (MMS) as per civil structure drawings in the bifacial radiance tool. Creating objects in radiance is cumbersome hence I am trying external tool (e.g Sketch up) to create structure and read it using bifacial radiance.
For that, I have created an MMS drawing in SketchUp, and using Su2rad plugins I got the object rad file. However, I am facing some errors while adding exported Object rad file using makeCustomObject and appendtoScene.
how to read object created in other tool to radiance environment with Su2rad or by any other means?
Exported files from Sketchup using Su2rad are:
