  1. Hi Is there a way to get the panel field's dimensions on the dimensioning plan?

  2. How can I configure the losses due to unavailability of the plant or because the anti-spill comes in?

  3. Is it possible to somehow generate PV yields in the 2nd, 3rd, 5th... year of its operation? Or do you have to calculate it manually, taking into account the parameters of the components?

    Dear Team: I need to limit the feed-in power at the conection point and I don´t sure if the Máximum feed-in Power Clipping is the tool for that. For example, if I have a 100 kW PV plant for use in own consumption and I have a feed-in limit of 25 kW, then would I have to put the Máximum Feed-in Power Clipping in 25% of PV Power at the feed in point? Thanks a lot. Regards, Boris

    Hi, Does PV-SOL consider zero production due to snow covering of the panels a few days a year? Here in Sweden is that a fact especially in the middle and north region. Best regards Victor

  6. Hello, I have a question regarding the LCOE calculations and the total energy produced, including degradation. Which formula is used to calculate the total energy over the entire period? When I calculate it manually using the following formula, I get a different price for the energy produced. I'm trying to understand where the discrepancy is. Do you account for degradation only in the first year, or is it considered throughout the entire period?

  8. I imported a .obj file into the model as it was easier to create the roof layout in external software, but I noticed that the shading created from the imported models isn't consistent. As shown in the image, there are gaps which pop up that shouldn't, and points of increased shade that don't make sense. I'm wondering if anyone has any solutions or an understanding of how much inaccuracy is being caused by these errors. Cheers.

    Hi, Can you please tell me what power rating is used when calculating the annual yield of an inverter - is it the nominal (rated power) or the VA rated (apparent) power? Many thanks.

  10. The DHW refer to the hot water supply or to the water temperature after you mix the hot water and the cold water at the shower or other fixture? Valentin help team, confirmed that DHW is the water temperature at the shower after we mix the hot water with cold water while chat GPT confirmed that DHW is the hot water supply temperature and not the mixed water temperature Dear Mr. Masri, Thank you for your inquiry.

    Moin, bei mir wird für den Ladezustand (auf C10 bezogen) für das E-Fahrzeug nur ein Aufladung auf max. 80% und eine Entladung auf max. 20% angezeigt. Besteht hier die Möglichkeit, diese Einstellung zu ändern? Für das E-Fahrzeug geht das in der Datenbank ja nicht. Des Weiteren frage ich mich, wie der Ladezustand des E-Fahrzeugs angezeigt wird. Ist es Absicht, dass eine Stunde vor Beginn der Ladezeit der Ladezustand auf das Minimum geht?

    Hello, I have two questions regarding some projects with the propose to full feed-in the energy to the grid. I update today the PVSOL for de 2025 R3 version and this type of simulation has changed. For exemple, I made a 2D simulation for 12 MW tracking and 4 MWh of battery. It usually charges de battery only from de PV when it starts do generate power and after the battery becames full, it feed-in the energy to the grid. The only shedule that I made is for discharging between 0:00 and 04:00 o'clock. I do not ativate charging periods. With this update, sometimes to charge the battery it consumes from grid (charging from grid). I do not want that, How ca…

  16. Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to input two different tariffs for purchasing energy from the grid. I understand that it is possible to set up multiple dynamic tariffs for selling energy, but I need to do the same for the energy I have to buy. In my case, for the next two years, I have a contract with a fixed price of X per MWh for energy purchased from the grid, and after that, the price changes to Y per MWh. Is there an option to input these values, or is it only possible to do so for the energy consumed and sold from the PV installation?"

  17. Hello, PV*Sol Premium 2025 still has a lot of problems. This is what is happening to me now - when generating energy flows, it divides the energy in a senseless way - 22 MWh of PV production is divided into 22 MWh for direct consumption and 21 MW for the DHW storage. The exact same configuration in 2023 works correctly! ??? Námestie Biely Kríž 1-5.pvprj Námestie Biely Kríž 1 PVSol2025.pvprj

  20. Hello For my Off-Grid System I have: 13,7 kWp and 13 kWh Batterystorage (2 x Growatt GBLI 6532, 6,5 kWh) I use 3 x Growatt SPF 5000 ES Inverters. 3 Strings to create 3 phase current, which is one of the main use cases of those inverters. No separate battery inverters are required. I am not sure how best to represent the system and it´s power generation with the communicating inverters for the generation of three-phase current. In another post I read, that I this Inverter-hybrid configuration is only available with a grid connected system. What downside do I have when I use this work around (instead of use the off-grid configuration)? Which is the best …

  23. Hi I'm trying to add a cost/expenditure, but not annually or a percentage, but fixed after er certain amount of years. I have configured a system in Denmark, with 25 years assessment period. After 15 years, a cost needs to be added for the inverter to be replaced. It could be a percentage of the total cost, but it has to be a one time cost just like the system. In the "Financial Analysis Parameters", i have added a non-tax deductible cost, which gets added the first year. But there is no feature to add another one time expenditure with a fixed year. I have read older manuals, which specifies i have to go through financing/loans, but the menus/dro…

    Hi, I’m working on a hybrid on-grid system with batteries and need help configuring the system to: Force zero export to the grid – I want to ensure that no excess energy is fed into the grid. Charge the battery only from PV and discharge only to the load – I need a way to prevent the battery from charging from the grid or discharging to it. Could you guide me on how to set this up in PV*SOL? Thanks in advance!
