PVsyst 8 вносит существенные улучшения в функциональность нашего программного обеспечения, демонстрируя нашу неизменную приверженность разработке и моделированию фотоэлектрических проектов.

Define your project
System design: Rapidly design grid-connected, standalone, or pumping photovoltaic systems. The program guides you in selecting components for sizing your project.
System sizing: Visualize sizing constraints for modules and inverters, including I/V curves and power distribution, focusing on optimal inverter sizing and comprehensive loss analysis.
New orientations: Benefit from flexibility in project customization by defining unlimited orientations and explore the possibility of combining trackers and fixed plans in a single simulation.
Sub-hourly simulation: Import meteorological data at sub-hourly intervals from Meteonorm 9 or through PVsyst import tools, and then simulate your systems with greater accuracy.
Simulation and results: Calculate annual energy distribution, analyze key metrics such as total energy, yield, and specific energy, through detailed reports on gains and losses.

Setup shadings
Near shadings: Model your 3D scene directly or import it from another CAD tool. Fast design tools, orientation identification, scene validation, and advanced multithreading calculations will allow you to define your system as close to reality as possible.
Horizon: Simply define distant shadows by determining the sun positions to which your system will be directly exposed. The tool allows you to import horizon data directly via Meteonorm and PVGIS.
Layout: Precisely calculate electrical shading losses (mismatch) by calculating the I/V characteristics of the photovoltaic array, by adding the voltage of each module in a string, and aggregating the string currents.

Many different tools
Grid storage and self-consumption: Choose your storage and self-consumption strategy. Grid storage involves storing excess energy from the photovoltaic array for future use, improving energy management and reliability. Self-consumption involves the direct use of photovoltaic energy on the production site, minimising grid dependence and optimizing the use of solar energy.
Bifacial systems and trackers: Simulate bifacial installations and photovoltaic systems on single or dual-axis trackers, with safety and backtracking options.
Meteorological databases: Use on-board mapping (Bing or OpenStreetMaps) to locate your project and automatically import meteorological data from one of these databases: Meteonorm 8.2, NASA-SSE, PVGIS-TMY (5.1 & 5.2), NREL/NSRDB TMY, Solcast TMY, Solar Anywhere TGY, and Solargis. Many other formats can also be imported manually.
Ageing, optimization, and batch processing: Explore our suite of advanced tools providing detailed results for advanced design decisions. Combine multi-year batch simulation for serialised simulations, including row spacing and bifacial height adjustments, and photovoltaic module ageing.
Economic assessment: Evaluate the costs of your systems (CAPEX, OPEX, custom costs), establish detailed pricing strategies. The result of this assessment will calculate NPV, LCOE, ROI, and various profitability metrics.
Components: Access a verified and regularly updated database including photovoltaic panels, inverters, batteries, pumps, and optimizers (AMPT, Huawei, Maxim, Sungrow, SolarEdge, TIGO) for realistic simulations.

Off-grid systems
Pumping systems: Simulate your sun-tracking pumping systems by integrating hydraulic properties and characteristics, water storage, and water requirements through the selection of various components.
Standalone systems: Evaluate the efficiency of your off-grid installations with energy storage, focusing on defining user electrical needs for an accurate assessment of stand-alone systems.
