Erik,

   If you are going to use Type50 then the closest you can get is to set 
the collector size as the total area. It will assume parallel flow. If 
you have access to the TESS Electrical library you will find some 
alternative PV/T collector models that give you some more flexibility.

kind regards,

  David
