Hello, Thank you for your inquiry. PV*SOL is generally suitable for retrofit string redesign of existing rooftop PV systems, subject to the following limitations: The 3D visualization allows a maximum of up to 7,500 elevated modules or up to 10,000 roof-mounted modules. You can only simulate the entire system, comprising 13,000 modules, in the 2D planning tool. For 3D planning (including shading analysis), we recommend that you split your overall project into two or three sub-projects. There is also an area limitation. When planning with the Google Solar API or with a map section from another provider, you are limited to a size of 200 m x 200 m. If your overall system is larger, you will need to simulate sub-systems. When carrying out 3D planning, please follow our guidelines on dividing large systems into subsystems so that you can make changes at a later stage or create different retrofitting options. Save different retrofitting versions in separate project files. By selecting ‘File’ --> ‘Project Comparison’, you can compare the simulation results of up to 6 project versions.

Hello, Thank you for your message. We have forwarded your suggestion to our development team and thank you for bringing this to our attention.
