Hi Everyone, I would like to ask if it is possible to access the specific annual yield for the different Module areas separately (not only the summarized value for the whole system), in the results or the report? I can see that there is a a section called 'Module Areas' in the report, but neither PV Generator Output, or the Spec. Annual Yield is not disclosed here, only for the whole system at the beginning of the report. Is there a way to access to any of these information for the Module area level? Thank you in advance! Best, Andras

Hi! I have configured the same system with both SolarEdge (including optimizers) and Huawei inverters to make a comparison. It is a system with quite some losses due to shade, therefore, I expected quite a better performance of the SolarEdge configuration. However, the results are pretty close according to PV Sol: SolarEdge + optimizers: - Yield: 813,47 kWh/kWp - Performance ratio: 81,0% Huawei: - Yield: 808,43 kWh/kWp - Performance ratio: 80,1% Does PV overestimate the performance of Huawei, or does PVSol underestimate the performance of the SolarEdge optimizers? Or could this be an accurate simulation?

Hi, I am exported Sketchup model and imported to PVsol. but error is showing like this.How I have to proceed? Regrads, Abhilash

Due to the limitation Pvsol showing 10000 max modules are allowed to place.Then how to do MW scale roof top design?I have 55000m2 roof area to design.

Hi, I would like to incorporate an overview image of the PV system in my presentation. However, the image that is generated by PVSol does not show the entire system I designed. Is it possible to change this image?

i get error message (Loading error: Bad file version) when i try to open project from my dropbox on another laptop how i can fix this ?!

Hello Is there any advice to simulate 2016 modules (Trina solar : TSM-335-DD14A (II) )with sungrow SG125HV inverter? I tried, but since it has 1 mppt , I couldn't find any possible configuration. one more question : If I want to use combiner boxes , any hint how to simulate them?

How I can draw canopy in PV*Sol? Drawing a building is pretty easy but I'm unable to draw a canopy in PV*Sol.

Hi I have this setup and would like to configur both roofs with the same inverter how is that done?

Martin, Would you like to add an option in pvsol that allows you to add and/or remove 1 panel with an east/west setup? See the added image. Thanks in advance.

Hi! For some reason 14 inverters from the brand Autarco cannot be deselected when I'm trying to generate an automated configuration by PV Sol. When I select all inverters from Autarco the selected inverters add up to , but when I deselect all inverters, PV Sol still keeps 14 inverters in my selection.

Hi, I have problem with microinverters. PVSOl is not generating any pdf and any data. Maybe I need to change something in program options. Thanks for help.

I am having trouble including the inverter model: CPS-SCA50KTL/US-480 When I configure my solar field with this created inverter, it says it is not compatible. I tried using a similar one with different numbers that was in the database and it did it just fine. I couldn't see this inverter in the database for PV*SOL. https://www.enfsolar.com/pv/inverter-datasheet/11072/33695?utm_source=ENF&utm_medium=inverter_list&utm_campaign=enquiry_product_directory&utm_content=13983

Hello everybody, I have a question about how you can add a bonus that is applied in some municipalities in my country. In some cities, if you install a self-consumption photovoltaic system, a tax discount of 50% will be deducted for five years, for example. How do I include that bonus in the economic parameters of PV*SOL so that it is correctly reflected in the cash flow? Kind regards, JL

Hello, I am having trouble opening the PhotoPlan tab. After trying to boot from PVSOL, two errors appear. This is a new computer on which I installed the program for the first time. The downloaded version is the most recent version downloaded from the official website. Errors prints screen below. I have installed Microsoft Visual C++ Does anybody know how this can be solved? I will be very grateful for help.

Hello, I want to ask what does means numbers on the modules after configuration? ex. - 1.1.1.2 or 1.1.1.0

Dear PV*SOL community, I would like to use TMEIC (SOLAR WARE 2550) inverter for my solar farm but I couldn't find in the database. Is it possible to create a new brand or do I have to create using an existing brand? Also, does the database has any large scale inverter? Thank you for the reply in advance. Boo

Hi, I would like to improve my offer which i generate from PVSol. Is it possible to add my logo on every picture in the presentation? Especially, i need such an option for 3D models. Also, I use very often screenshots in 3D modeling, but the pictures are named in a very unpleasant way. Is it possible to name them by default in my way? Is there such an option? PVSol is in general a good program but I think you can make a better UI in the next versions. Thank you in advance.

I am new to PV SOL software and seems to be straight forward after watching some tutorials. I was curious of how to setup the finances for a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) setup for our company. As obvious, we want to figure the analysis. What functions and inputs would I have to consider?

Hi, I'm trying to calculate using a tariff system where there's no compensation for the energy that is supplied to the grid and there's a fixed price for what is imported from the grid. That is a system where what is supplied to the net is worthless and there's no balance to keep track of. If it's supplied to the net, it's , in essence, lost. How would I go about setting that up? Thanks. /HP

Hi everyone, I have a problem with creating a presentation. After generating the simulation, the presentation tab is empty (Sungrow inverter, 110CX). In the same project, only with a different inverter (Huawei 60KTL) the presentation is normally generated. What could be the problem? Program version: PVSol Premium 2020 R8

how much shading percentage allowed in solar panels?

Hello! I tried to search the forums but I couldn't find the solution. Is it possible somehow to record the Sun's course animation using PV*SOL or I should use some kind on on screen recording program? Best regards

Hello, I am a new user of PVSol and I am facing some problems to understand the different consumption profiles available. After reading the consumption section available in the website, I have the following questions: When I choose a measured load profile (example BDEW commercial load profile G1), I can only see the monthly values. Does it mean that in those curves the hourly consumtion is constant? When I choose a daily load profile, is there a way to specify that the consumption is different on different days in a week? Example if a business does not run on a weekend, the consumption value decreases. I see how to create a different profile for saturday…

Is it possible to turn off (exclude) the electricity savings component in the cash flow? Jan
