Large scale projects

Bigger area with more then 10.000 PV panels - when this will be available in PV Sol Premium?

System with trackers simulation in 3D mode - when this will be available in PV Sol Premium?

Net - Metering to allows a customer who is generating more electricity than they are consuming to export that excess energy to the electric grid, receiving a virtual credit in kilowatt-hours (kWh)

Hi aleksandar.vajs,

thanks for your questions.

In the 3D environment it is not planed to support more than 10.000 roof parallel Modules. For large roof parallel systems we recommend to split the system into sub-projects.

For mounted open space systems we recommend to pick a small representative part of the system with less than 7.500 modules, simulate it to get the value for the "Yield reduction due to shading" in percent and then switch to a new 2D project. In the 2D projects it is possible to simulate up to 100.000 modules per module area (the number of module areas is unlimited). In the "PV Module" section of the 2D project on the left panel under "Shading" you can enter the shading value in percent, that you calculated before.

PV systems with tracking in the 3D environment will probably not be implemented. The cost of implementation exceeds the benefits and the demand for PV systems with tracking is also low. For the creation of PV systems with tracking, 2D planning must still be used.

I am unsure whether I have understood your question correctly. Net-Metering can be selected in PV*SOL in the "Financial Analysis" section under "Energy Balance / Feed-in Concept".

Further information can be found in our corresponding online help section https://help.valentin-software.com/pvsol/en/pages/financial-analysis/#economic-efficiency-calculation-grid-connected. Does that answer your question or do you mean a specific functionality in net metering?

Kind regards
