    Are LID losses stated by the module manufacturer included in PR calculations?

  4. Hello, Iit possible to create a graph of daily power of the inverter in PVSol Program?

  5. Started by J. Esteban,

    Good afternoon, I hope you are well. Would it be possible to obtain or generate the DWG drawings showing the electrical connections per inverter only, rather than as a combined layout based on the overall plan or PV*Sol configuration? I look forward to your comments. Kind regards.

  6. What metereological databases PV*SOL uses.

  7. Hello again. I would also like to know how the average night consumption is calculated. From what time to what time?"

  8. Hi PV*Sol! Got a issue with the program today, for some reason the information about the amount of modules and the kWp value does not show anymore. I have attached a picture of the issue. My PC crashed today as well, i do not know if the issue is related to my bluescreen. But this information does not show anymore, my colleagues with the same version does not have the issue. All of us are PV*Sol Premium users with the 2026 R3 release. If you want to take this inquiry in a chat instead of the forum, no issue. Thank you for all help provided.

  10. Dear Valentin team, All PVSol users in our team are currently experiencing a crash that has never happened before in previous versions. On the 2026 R1 and R3 versions, while we're running the simulation, the monitor goes black with an error message "Device not working properly" and the entire laptop restarts. When it restarts, our changes are not saved and this is making the software unusable. There are 3 users in our team and we are all currently unable to complete any designs because of this issue. Our laptops have been able to to run all versions 2024 and 2025 with no issues, the crash only started when we updated to the 2026 versions. Is there a way to…

    Does anyone know if PVSOL is able to model DC couple battery energy storage systems? In the UK DNOs regard AC coupled BESS inverters as generators and DC couple BESS can also make use of DC power shaved off at peak generation by undersized AC inverters

  16. Hi, I was wondering, is there an option to undo changes in PV SOL, other than not saving and simply opening the last saved version of your file? Something in the line of Ctrl+Z in MS Office. Thanks!

  18. "Hello, I have a question regarding the following. I have designed two nearly identical systems in PVSOL. Both have 4.4 kWp of PV capacity, the same battery type with 19.2 kWh storage, and both use a hybrid inverter: a Growatt SPH3600TL BL-UP and a Solis S6-EH1P3.6K-L-PLUS. There is such a large difference in battery losses that I don’t understand the cause. Who can help me? I am uploading a spreadsheet with all PVSOL input values for the battery, the PV inverter, and the battery system. With the Growatt configuration, the loss is 819 kWh/year, while for the Solis, it is only 233 kWh/year." Growatt Solis I hope someone can help me out on …

  20. Guten Tag, ich möchte Module mit verschiedenen Ausrichtungen auf einem Flachdach platzieren. Das habe ich aktuell in PV*SOL mit 2 Modulflächen realisiert, siehe Bilder. Allerdings hätte ich gerne eine Ansicht, in der ich alle Module auf einen Blick sehen kann. Daher habe ich probiert ob ich die Module auch mit 2 Belegungsflächen platzieren kann, dann bekommen aber alle Module die gleiche Ausrichtung. Gibt es noch irgendeine Möglichkeit, wie man verschiedene Ausrichtungen auf einem Dach realisieren kann und dann alle Module auf einen Blick sehen kann?

    Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren PVSOL berechnet die Leerlaufspannung eines Moduls über die Formel Ich habe bei der Planung einer Anlage das Modul: Trina Solar 460W (TSM-460 NEG9R.28 Vertex S+) genutzt Laut Datenblatt liegt die Leerlaufspannung bei 53,8 V, der Temperaturkoeffizient für die Leerlaufspannung (Voc) liegt angegeben bei -0,24%/°C. Temperatur min = -10°C angenommen Bei diesen Werten für die Berechnung der Leerlaufspannung ist eine Leerlaufspannung von 62,2 V Berechenbar PVSOL gibt die Leerlaufspannung wie unten ersichtlich mit 60,1V an Wieso ist das so?

    Hello, We have a internal discussion about how to calculate DC cables. I have been told that it its 2 way (go and return) including the extra lenght of the connection cables. My colleague thinks it is one way including modules. In PV-Sol there is been written 1x go and return. What length must i put in with a 100mtr from inverter to module to calculate te totall loss. is it (a) 100 + connection cables modules. ±140mtr (b) 100 + connection cables and return ±260mtr

  24. Hi, I wanted to copy this inverter and add a new inverter whose specifications are close to the copied inverter. Do I need to add the MPPT numbers of Max. Input Current (A)=30, Max. Short-Circuit Current (A)=37.6 for new inverter or is there no need to add the numbers? New inverter: This is where I need to enter the numbers: With the above specifications, what number should I enter specifically in the boxes?
