hom Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Can PVSol simulate 30 years production including module degradation? I only find it for 1 year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, PV*SOL cannot do this at the moment. In general the yield simulation of a PV system is based on a typical meteorological (more info in our online help: https://help.valentin-software.com/pvsol/2024/en/calculation/irradiation/climate-data/#what-are-climate-data-sets-what-does-typical-meteorological-year-mean). You could extrapolate the yield reduction to wider time span though. Does this information help? Kind regards Frederik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_ Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Hi Hom, Yes, that is possible with PvSol. ah check @developer_fw . I showed the 'extrapolate the yield reduction to wider time span' version I see. While still using one typical meteorological year as basis of the simulation The module degradation profile you can adjust at the (3D) design tab then the project lifetime can be adjusted under finance, -> edit Finally after simulating you can find the 30 year production under the tab: results -> PV energy during the observation period. Hope this answer helps, if you have any more questions please ask, happy to help you Peter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
