Hello everyone.

i'm trying to stitch large sets of images of solar panels. In some cases (the longest rows of panels) I'm overtaking the maximum FoV of the projection I've choosen (equirrectangular or cylindrical, booth seems to work fine for my use case). When this happens the end of the panorama overlaps the first frames, as you can see in the next image:

Is there any solution for this? No other projection seems to work fine.

Thanks in advance!

For this use case, you can just reduce the angle of view of the source photographs. Then you will be able to fit more photos into the 360° wide equirectangular canvas.

..or you could stitch using the mosaic mode, for this you need to use a rectilinear output canvas, and you will be optimising additional X, Y & Z parameters to place the photos.

But this will distort the image? I'm currently calculating the hfov through the lens focal lenght and the sensor size.

Yes, but it looks like you are moving the camera for each photo. So you are not stitching an equirectangular panorama, just using equirectangular as a large canvas to join the photos. This won't give a perfect alignment, but it is probably good enough.
