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

Thank you for your reply. It helped

Hi, I’m still new to using PV*SOL. I have two problems. I want to change the image section of my house. As you can see in the attached picture, you can’t see the whole house and all the solar panels. How can I change it so that the entire house and all panels are visible in the report? My next problem is the error message I’m getting, which I’ve also uploaded here. What does it mean, and how can I avoid it? Thanks in advance.

Okay, I’ll take a look at that. Thanks.

I’m a new user of PVSOL. I’ve created a 3D model based on a map showing the location of the house. But PVSOL gives me the error: “First, please define a valid system in the 3D visualization.” Where do I do that? Thanks.
