    Ho is this possible below if you have 9 x Jink0 590Watt BDV panels installed. The VOC of these panels is 52.9Vdc and multiplied by 9 gives you 476.1Vdc, and not 519Vdc as per PVSol below:

    Good Day, I want to make sure if my calculations are correct. I added a Dyness PowerBlock Max 16kWh battery to the database. Please just check if my Discharge Cycles are correct below:

    Good Day, Can you please make sure the data in PVSol Database is correct for the specified 16kW Single Phase Inverter. Something does not look correct if I compare the DC data with the Datasheet of the inverter. Max DC Input Power should be 25.6kW Max Input Current should be 96A Max Short Circuit Current should be 180A

    Hello, I tried this software maybe year or two ago, tried it again now, and seems I still have shading issues with imported models. I've checked and this impacts not only rendering but calculations also I guess. Is there workaround or fix? I have crazy results with this glitch. I don't know how to explain this, like shadow casts inside of object on backface and then inverts from other side at some angles. Seems there are no issues with inbuilt geometry, but even simplest box imported from 3ds max (3ds obj) gives headache. I've attached my 3ds model. And unfortunately this making this software unusable for me. Standard approach is to draw blueprint of walls in acad, re…

    Good Day, when calculating Max Charge and Discharge Power in the Battery Setup, do you use the Max Battery Voltage (60Vdc) of the Inverter or the Max Operating Voltage (57.6Vdc) of the Battery multiplied by 220A in this example below?

    Have you got instructions for this ? Are all inverters in the database - in particular I am looking for a Solis 5.0kW 5G Dual MPPT - Single Phase with DC and Solis 2.5kW 5G Dual MPPT - Single Phase with DC Cant see these in the drop downs

  10. We are currently on Meteonorm 9.0, is it possible to run a simulation using older Meteonorm 8.2? When I select the attached my simulation still runs using Meteonorm 9.0.

  11. Hello, I am completely new to the software and struggling with FAQ and first steps. Successfully created a testing environment and created multiple houses but the software will only let me place solar panels on the ground and not on roofs. Probably something really simple but neither Google search nor FAQs could help. How do I tell the software that I want to place solar panels on roofs? Sorry this probably sounds really stupid and I am not a native English speaker. Just really frustrated after multiple hours into test project and search and not being able to find a solution ... THANK YOU for your help!

  12. Hello, If I import HH data into PVSol, does it use this when calculating self-consumption with an hourly simulation, or does it add the 2 HHs together and use hourly data? Further to the above, is the formula used to calculate self-consumption % simply 'if consumption is greater than PV output then 100%, if not then = consumption/pv output'? This would essentially assume that PV output and site demand is completely flat for each simulation period. Thanks, Haydn

  14. Hello everyone, I am currently working on a university project involving an existing large rooftop PV system. The system consists of more than 13,000 PV modules in total, distributed across many strings, existing generator junction boxes (GAK) and inverter units. Due to a requirement from a regulatory authority, several modules in the upper roof rows have to be removed because they extend beyond the roof ridge. As a result, parts of the existing PV generator field must be redesigned to remain compliant while minimizing energy losses. My task is not to design a completely new PV system from scratch. Instead, I have to evaluate and optimize an existing i…

    Hi all together! What's the best way to consider PV systems built on a water body in PV*SOL? So far, there is no opportunity to take lower temperatures (1-3°) and therefore higher energy yields (5-10%) of the PV systems on water within PV*SOL into consideration. The only way I've thought of so far is to change the ambient temperature at the destination to the targeted- For example, if we have Berlin with mean temperatures of 12° over the year, I could decrease the temperature to 10°. However, this seems to be quite inaccurate to me and I would like to ask for another idea how to handle that problem. Additionally, it is quite complicated to create your own climate dat…

  16. Good afternoon, I am trying to add new modules, inverters and pannels to my database, but on the mayority of data sheets from products I dont get all the specifications that PV sol asks me of. I add an example image. How would you fill up the data of the following inverter and batteries. https://oss.tcldigitalpower.com/1/file/2026/03/20260325092044182_6fyaq0tx4csr.pdf

    Good Day, How do you indicate in the project setup which loads are Essential and which are Non-Essential Loads? I have created two different Load patterns but do not know where to indicate which one is Essential and which one Non-Essential for the system to use in the calculations.

    Good Day, In the project I have created, why will there be power supplied form the grid if there is enough Solar Power. I have activated the Daily profile so that only load is drawn from 12h00 - 16h00 but does not make a difference. Is there something I am missing?

  22. Good Day, can someone please assist. I need to create a project with a Hybrid Inverter and a separate battery connected to the Inverter. NOT a Battery System with a battery inverter. The battery selections are in the database that I must use but nowhere is there a selection of the free standing battery. Which system type must be used? Is it the one I highlighted below? In the database the batteries are there, but where do you add them?
