Okay. Thank you. How do I contact the development team?

Can PV Sol calculate what size system would best match a consumption pattern if, for example, you want a self-consumption rate of 80%? I have attached a project where I am trying to determine how many panels and what size inverter would be optimal for this setup if the customer wants a self-consumption share of 80%. At the moment, I am basically just testing different configurations. Another question regarding this project: you can see that I have installed batteries—5 units of 5.12 kWh each. This results in a self-consumption rate of 66.4%. Has AI control for charging and discharging the batteries been included in the calculation? With AI control, wouldn’t the self-consumption rate be expected to increase further? partdesign.pvprj

Hello Can you help me with my 3D project. I want to draw the house in 3D. I don’t know how to draw the house with the angled extension where the roofs intersect. can you explain? Karin og Bent.pvprj

okay, thank you

Hello I know how to change the image on the project overview page. But how do you change it on the module surfaces page so i can see all the PV moduls? I would still like to keep south pointing downward, so that it is not rotated like the overview image. Thanks. Dagrofa Herning.pvprj

Hi again. I’ve figured it out now. I checked the “medium” option. I’ve now created the project with the Google API. The report says it’s only 0.1% reduction in yield due to shading. Can that be correct? Have I created the project in 3D correctly? Dagrofa Horsens - Kopi.pvprj

Okay. thank you. I have now got a API key. But I get this error when i try to download orthophoto. Why?

Hello I have several projects for which I need to run some simulations—in 3D. I want to make them as realistic as possible. I have modeled the buildings in 3D. I would like it if one could set the shadow effect, for example, to 2%, but of course, that isn’t possible in 3D. Therefore, I am asking for your help in creating a shadow effect. I am attaching two of my projects here. How do you assess whether shadows should be taken into account? I know that one can model a tree to simulate shadows, but do you find it necessary to include a shadow effect for my projects? Thank you. Dagrofa Horsens.pvprj Dagrofa Hjørring.pvprj

Okay. Thanks. I will like to simulate the shadows. On the roof, there is some technical equipment that I would like to model in 3D in order to see its shadows. I have tried to draw a polygon to illustrate the technical equipment, but I get an error as you can see in the attached image. How is this done? It is a bit of a tricky building I think, so how many panels can you fit on the building? Are there any shading conditions I should take into account in the simulation? surroundings Dagrofa servicekontor new.pvprj

Hello. Can I change the headline and the image on a compact report? I would like to change the headline “Dit PV-system.”

Can I change the headline and the image on a compact report? I would like to change the headline “Your PV system.”

Hello I am still new to PV SOL and now I have to simulate PV on a big Building in 3D for a customer. I don’t know how to do it, since the building is a square with a “hole” in the middle. Can you help with the 3D model of the building? Thank you Dagrofa servicekontor.pvprj

I would also like to now if I can change the picture on the front page in the compact rapport?

Hello. I want to change the headline in the compact customers presentation. For now it says "Dit PV system" How do I do that?

I would like to connect the two roof surfaces to the same inverter. Module Array 01 and 02 to the same inverter. How do I do that? And my next question is about the DC cable going out to the panels. When I enter a length of, for example, 30 m, how do I change it so that it is 2 × 30 m? Since there is a positive cable and a negative cable. Dagrofa Randers.pvprj

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I know that in 2D I can enter a shadow percentage and was hoping I would have the same option in 3D. But I’ll try adding some trees instead.

Hello. I have created a design in 3D. I would now like to set the shadow effect to, for example, 5%. How do I do that? Risvænget 6.pvprj

Okay. Thank you.

Hello I want to use the pv panel from JA Solar JAM66D46LB. Why aren’t they in the database? I can’t find them.

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

Hello Can I simulate only a system with a battery without PV? "In the attached file, can I simulate what would happen if AI were controlling the battery? Bruno.pvprj

Could you tell me which factors influence the PR (Performance Ratio) value? -All of them. I have heard about an RP value (Reference Performance / Reference Yield Ratio). Are you familiar with an RP value? Thank you

Hi. I want to use the financial calculation. I haven’t tried that before. I have a price for a system of 650,000 DKK. I have entered that. Is what I’ve done correct? I know the customer pays 2.16 DKK per kWh. So I would like to enter this fixed price per kWh, and then use PV solar to calculate the payback time. How do I do that? Thanks. JKE.pvprj

Thanks for the help.

I have made a simulation. In the report, a performance ratio of 93% is mentioned. I think that seems quite high, and I’m worried that I might have forgotten something in my calculations. I have attached my PV SOL file here. I have entered the number and type of panels, the type of inverter, the orientation of the panels, and the length and size of the AC and DC cables. I have deliberately not included any shading effects. Could you please take a look at my calculation and provide some feedback? That will help me a lot. Thank you very much. latyrusparken del 1.pvprj
