We are looking for an easy way to draw east/west oriented panels on a flat roof. We use ESDEC FlatFix Dual for that purpose, but we can't seem to find a solution to quickly draw these 2-row mounting racks. Anybody here who knows how to do this effectively?

  Agreed. Seems odd that there's functions to design five different types of moving tracker but nothing for a simple east west system.
  
  The workaround I did was to design the system on the Valk Planner (you'd need to use the ESDEC one) and then transpose the panel layout into opensolar manually, but using only one orientation. Say east. The output from east and west should be similar. It's not ideal as there may be different shading elements to take into account east and west, but it at least was something to progress the project!

  First image is the Valk east-west flat roof design and the second is the opensolar one
