If you choose TiltAzimuth for Array Geometry Type, the solar panels do not get associated with a surface. The tilt angle and azimuth angle are supplied directly by the user.

If you choose Surface, the tilt and azimuth are inferred from the specified surface but the size of the surface is not taken into account for capacity. The array capacity is set in the "DC System Capacity" field. For shading, it will assume the array occupies the entire surface.
