Hi Guys! 

 

I would like to desing  battery capacity for one existing solar system. I generated the consuption data in kWh, 15 mins, one year, csv. file. And I also have the solar system productions data in kWh, 15 mins, one year, csv. file. 

Is there any possibility for import all the datas like productions and consuptions than PV SOL calculate the perfect battery capacity?

Dear Nick Márton,

Thank you for your inquiry.

The simulation for designing PV systems is always based on climate data, either the irradiance data stored in the program or measured by you. This simulation step cannot be skipped; unfortunately, importing your own PV yield data is not possible. The existing system is completely replicated in PV*SOL, allowing you to disregard all details that don't affect yield or shading.

You can import the load profile (consumption data in kWh, 15 min, one year) as a CSV file. Information on how to do this can be found in our online help. You only need the consumption values, without timestamp and column header, in the first column of the CSV file. The file must consist of one column with exactly 35040 values (4*8760).

If the simulated yield deviates significantly from the measured yield, you can adjust the losses under "Options" --> "Project Options" --> "Simulation" until the simulated yield closely matches the measured yield.
