Hi, How would I go about modelling a building with a large flat roof with all sides being pitched? I've modelled a building that suits these parameters but the software won't allow me to put any panels - it only allows me to mount panels on the pitched areas. Any advice would be helpful, Thanks, Indy

Hello, I have done a Solaredge system with one string on three roof sides. I have put a grommel but when I click on it and want to use cable with - it is greyed out. What I am doing wrong? brg Dalibor

Hello all community friends, I have a question , how do I add our own battery to PV SOL database? Thanks

How to solve this ?

Hello, is anyone else having issues with PVSol 2024 (R6) constantly crashing and showing this error message? Error message = "Fehler beim Mesh generieren"

Hi, I'm having trouble using the 'Create climate data for new location': 'Measurement data' feature in MeteoSyn because the 'OK' button remains inactive. What am I doing wrong, or why is this happening? Kind regards, Pauline

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…

Hi, I'm looking to design a purely off grid hybrid PV / Generator system but without batteries and include the SMA fuel saver controller as an energy management system. Can this be done in PVSol? Thanks Regards Damon

Hello Please, is it possible to improve the way of scaling the plans in jpg format by increasing the accuracy. 3 (zoom option) I attach a screenshot of the one I want thank you

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

Alle 5 Minuten hängt sich das Programm auf. Es ist mittlerweile UNMÖGLICH eine PV-Anlage mit diesen Programm zu planen!!!!!

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 just new to the PVsol software, i have completed some tutorials on You tube etc. Is it possible to calculate the cost of the system? investment using the £ per Kwp formula thanks Clark

Topic was moved to forum PV*SOL

Hi, is there anyway I can get the system cost on the front page of the presentation ?

How can I export the 3d model made in PV SOl and save it in .obj format?

Hi, I want to design a standalone system. I selected battery inverter and battery which they are appropriate. I received a warning from program as below; At least 4,8 kWh of battery energy is required per kWp of PV power. Why should the system be like this? How can i fix this problem?

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.

I'm getting this, any ideas ? Thanks

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.

When creating a bullshit hourly rate I can no longer give time increments of 15 or 30 minutes. Is it possible for you to help me with this problem?
