  3. Hi, I'm trying to insert my own climate data record into MeteoSyn in PVsol premium. I created a DAT-file (see screenshot 1) following the instructions on the help desk (https://help.valentin-software.com/pvsol/2023/en/pages/system-type-climate-and-grid/meteosyn/#options). Now, I want to import this file via the tab options in the 'import file' section (see screenshot 2). After inserting the file, I either get the error message: 'missing information could not be imported', or the file is saved in the WBV_userfiles folder, but then I can't figure out how to select this WBV-file to be included in the climate data in PVsol for calculations. How can I correctly…

    Dear Community, I am simulating my project to understand the impact of adding a battery to the solar + site demand setup. I am using Type of System: "3D, Grid-connected PV System with Electrical Appliances and Battery Systems" and "3D, Grid-connected PV System with Electrical Appliances" to check this difference. My question: Can you please help me understand where can I find the value of "solarPV exported to the grid" in the report? In the attached simulation report, I feel like it calculated all the information except how much is generated energy from solar PV is exported to Grid. I have also attached another simulation result (of the same project)…

    Hi, I am wondering what are peoples opinions on PR values? What do you like to see in your designs as your highest PR and lowest PR etc Could anybody point me in the direction of a UK regulation that states what soiling losses, cable losses, mismatch etc should all be set to as a standard in PVSol to achieve the manufacturers performance figures? Thanks

    Hello, we have few projects with BHKW (combined heat and power plant), and we want to add the energy generated from the power plant to the analysis of the PV Modules. Is this possible? Are there any plans to add this feature in the future? Thanks and best Regards

    Dear All, We need your quick response,many thanks~ The first time , we design two strings for per MPPT , but our inverter only have one strings for per MPPT . The second time, we changed the right number of strings, but it was still wrong. Can you help us to find the reason?

    Hello. So i am trying to do the cable plan. Do you think the cables routes are good? I mean is there a better route so i can minimize the loops? Also, i used t-plugs to connect strings in parallel ( 2 strings in parallel x 2) . Should i keep them or should i use the combiner box instead? Whats the difference between them?

    I want my negative DC-cable to follow the panels, see example in the attached image. But I cant figure out how to make more of the little blue (and red) "dots", see the orange arrow. Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm trying to add 20kwh of solax battery's to a design using a solis 40k inverter. when selecting the solax battery's it is showing as dc intermediate circuit coupling. my understanding is that the solax battery's will have to be ac coupled to a separate inverter. I cant seem to make this work.

    Good day, I am using PVSOL premium 2019 (R13), is their a possibility that I could import a 3d model to the simulation? if yes, how can it be done and what are the acceptable file formats? thank you in advance for your kind assistance.

    I am currently working on a solar/wind hybrid project. The wind turbine has already been installed and generates 330kW at its peak. I have the generation data of the wind turbine, and would like to run a PVsol report of the existing generation data together with the new solar generation data. There is also a 330kW export limit on site, therefore I would like to run the Pvsol report to monitor the curtailment that would likely happen with the two generations. Is there any way to input the wind generation data in conjunction with the solar generation data? I have tried inputting the data as negative but that hasn't worked. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

  24. Hi, I have a drone flight processed in metashape and I want to import it to PVSOL to simulate panel instalation. At first the model was upside down, I managed to rotate it back to the upwards position, however it is still in the wrong rotated in relation to the North. I also managed to rotate the model aproximately to the right orientation and perform the simulation. But the fact that I had to manually move the model to the right position indicates that it's not georreferenced. The radiation simulation must consider the geographic position and orientation of the model to be considered thuthful. How can I make sure that my model is georreferenced correctly? …
