Davidvc Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Hi, we would like to know what is the maximum ground mount simulation size in mega watts. We have heard that it is 500 mega watt, is that possible to simulate this size installation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_mh Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Dear Davidvc, the only restriction we have in PV*SOL is the number of modules and mounting systems used in the 3D environment. If you plan without 3D, the PV plant size is unlimited. If you plan in 3D, we restrict the maximum module number to 10000 (or 7500 for mounting systems). If you multiply that by the current nominal power of a typical module, say 350 Wp, you get 3.5 MWp as a limit. The threshold is editable in the settings file, though. It really depends on your computer.. Without 3D planning, you can easily simulate more than 500 MWp. Kind regards, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_mh Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Here is a small screenshot of PV*SOL showing results for a 1 GWp PV system (simulation duration on my computer was < 1 min). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
