Willy Chacon Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Hello. I received from one of our module providers the .PAN files of new modules to come in the market. I would like already to make a couple sims with them but couldn´t find how to insert new modules to the database using the .PAN files. Could you describe to me the procedure to insert these .PAN files? Thanks Willy Chacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_mh Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Dear Willy, I am afraid that the PAN format is a proprietary (and binary) format from PVsyst which you cannot open in PV*SOL. You could import your PAN file in PVsyst and then export it to clipboard. Then you can paste the module data to an Excel sheet (separating the entries on semicolon). Using PVsyst 6.4.1, I prepared an Excel sheet where you can paste your data and you'll already have the correct column description for to know which value must be entered in PVSOL: You can download the Excel file here: PAN files for PVSOL.xlsx You would then open the PV module database of PV*SOL, then choose "New module" and enter the data accordingly. For this example I entered the data and saved a project for you (just to see where to enter which data): Project with module from PAN file.pvprj Hope that helps! I'd be glad if you could give me a short feedback if you succeded. Kind regards, Martin Project with module from PAN file.pvprj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Chacon Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Thank you very much Martin. Sorry about the confusion of .PAN files into PVSol . Willy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaled Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 So you mean that it should be entered manually after its extracted on the excel file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_mh Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 yes, the data must be entered manually. It should only take a few moments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_mh Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Dear PV*SOL users, PV*SOL now features a fully automated PAN file import, accessible via the database dialog: https://help.valentin-software.com/pvsol/2022/en/databases/import-pan-files/ Hope that facilitates the usage of PAN files. We'd like to hear what you think of that new feature as well! Kind regards, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
