Abstract

A computer processing method for designing an installation layout of solar cell modules on an installation surface of a photovoltaic power generation system is provided. Installation information of the solar cell modules are automatically calculated so as to be fit within the installable area of the installation surface on the basis of information on the solar cell module, information on the installation surface, and information on installation conditions of the solar cell modules, and the calculated installation information is outputted.
