Battery choice

[Tade]

Why is there no choice of batteries in the PV*Sol Premium 2024 program? The dropdown is not active. There is only a battery system.

Hello Tade

I assume you do refer to the databases dialogue next to the fast selection on the page Battery System:

In this case the Databases dialogue is limited to battery systems only in the same way as you could only choose PV modules via the fast selection on the page PV modules.

If you do want to have a look into the product databases the preferred way is the file menu on top of the main window:

When creating a new battery system e.g. you could choose an inverter plus a battery.

Does this help?

Kind regards

Thanks, but that's the problem. I need to include a hybrid inverter and a battery in the system. If I configure a battery system with an inverter, as a result, the program will offer me two identical inverters.
Why is it not possible to put only the battery itself in the system? After all, the batteries themselves are in a separate database.

In older versions of the program, it was not a problem to add the battery itself.
Or is there some "trick" for it?

Hi Tade,

thanks for your explanation.

I'm unsure which feature you mean. Could you elaborate your statement? Is it for a grid-connected or for a stand alone pv system?

The battery systems in the database are composed of individual batteries from the database. Do I understand correctly that you want to connect a single battery to a hybrid inverter via DC intermediate circuit coupling? If so, you can do this by creating a new battery system with that single battery.

To do that, please open the battery system database dialog via the top left menu "Databases > Battery Systems (grid-connected). Next click on "New":

Than choose "DC intermediate circuit coupling" for the coupling type:

In the "Battery" section please click on the database icon:

This opens a battery database dialog where you can select the desired battery and confirm with "Select":

Again, in the "Battery" you can set the number of batteries and stings to one and save the custom battery system:

 

On the Battery System Page you can now select the custom system via the battery system drop-down menu (please first select the manufacturer under which you have saved the system):

Now your battery system only consists of the battery you have selected. You can also view the circuit diagram on the "Plans and parts list" page:

Does this answer your question?

Kind regards

Thanks for the detailed explanation. In the older version, it was possible to add the battery separately. Alright, according to your instructions, I can do it.
Thank you again.
