January 18, 20188 yr comment_1420 Hi, Does PV-SOL consider zero production due to snow covering of the panels a few days a year? Here in Sweden is that a fact especially in the middle and north region. Best regards Victor Report
January 18, 20188 yr comment_1422 Hi Victor, yes, snow can be an important factor that influences PV energy production. Short answer is no, PV*SOL can't consider it, because we have no input data for that yet. You can also have a look at these discussions also dealing with snow: But we have it on our list and hope we come up with a reasonable approach in the coming year. Kind regards, Martin Report
September 14, 20206 yr comment_4297 Hello! Just wanted to ask if the info above is still true, or have there been any changes regarding snow? Many thanks, Frido Report
June 27, 20242 yr comment_16712 Hello! I as well wanted to ask if there are any updates regarding snow calculations. Report

April 15, 20251 yr comment_19070 Hi, Regarding this topic, what solutions do we have to take snow into consideration? I was thinking about using a pollution (dirt) of 99% (100% not possible) to show that there is no production for the 1st 3 months of the year. I tried this solution but I still have a "normal" production value for these 3 months, no reduction. Are there other solutions to consider snow to get no production for few months? Regards, Vincent Report

Regards, Vincent Replying to my post... Actually the solution of pollution works (at the 3rd attempt!) to get no production for some months - you can choose which months to get no production thanks to this solution as it can be selected per month - or half a month if you choose 50% pollution I assume (I don't know if this is linear ?).

April 15, 20251 yr comment_19072 Dear Vincent, Thank you for your inquiry. A 50% module pollution results in a 50% reduction in irradiance at any given time throughout the entire month. What is actually needed is a way to reduce irradiance by 100% on 15 of the 30 days. Unfortunately, there is currently no convenient way to do this. The more complicated option would be to export the climate data, then set the irradiation to 0 on 15 days in Excel, for example, create an importable climate file from this and then import it into MeteoSyn.

April 15, 20251 yr comment_19074 Thank you for the feedback. So far I don't need such a solution. I will see later this way if this is planned Report
