AutoDesigner API: Minimum Contiguous Panels in Energy Mode

You can now specify a minimum number of contiguous panels in a row (rack) in AutoDesigner API. Increasing this number can reduce the cost of installation and the aesthetic appeal of your system. However, keep in mind that Energy Mode already optimizes production and cost, and avoids having rows with very few panels when possible. If you make the minimum too high, it might result in a less than optimal system or even make it impossible to meet your energy target.

If you are willing to install singleton panels when it is the most efficient way to meet the energy output, set the parameter to 1. Otherwise, set according to your installation policies to limit your minimum per row.

This parameter is optional and is set to 2 by default, which preserves the current behavior, and is only available for Energy Mode (not yet for Max Fit).
