Hi Oliver, In PVsyst the N-S slope can not be determined automatically. But you can create your shading scene in a third-party software such as AutoCAD or Helios3D as you say and import it subsequently into PVsyst (DAE, PVC, 3DS, H2P files are supported by PVsyst). You can also create your shading scene directly in PVsyst and using the zone editing tool to create trackers with the appropriate parameters. The trackers thus created will follow the ground of your hill, and you can subsequently adjust their position and orientation if necessary: In PVsyst 7.2, you'll also find the backtracking management tool. It can provide you with valuable information about mutual shadows and electrical losses between your trackers:

Hi, We have integrated a new tool for configuring backtracking in version 7.2. This backtracking management tool suffered from some youthful problems and we are sorry for that. Now, we have released a v7.2.2 patch fixing a bunch of issues (see https://www.pvsyst.com/release-notes), and we hope you no longer encounter these problems. If this is still the case, please contact our support so that we can analyze together the problems encountered.

No, only a single view, this is just an illustration of what your installation looks like.

Hi wailsalaoui, In the 3D scene, you can select the screenshot you want to use in the report:

Dear Andreas, When you fill a zone, you fill it with single PV tables. Once finished, select all the zone tables [1], and click on "convert fixed tables to trackers" [2] (You can also change the azimuth to orient your trackers the way you want):

Dear Wang Shuo, You need to define modules chains for each table in your 3D scene. Select your table and click on the "Partition in module chains" button: More details can be found in the PVsyst online help: https://www.pvsyst.com/help/index.html?near_shadings_partition.htm

Hi Fernando, PVsyst can import 3DS, DAE, PVC and H2P scenes. But unfortunately, it is currently not possible to export 3D scenes from PVsyst to other software.

Hello pvpanels000, Welcome to this forum. Here below some answers : 1) Try to enable the anti-aliasing rendering option: 2) This may be due to the definition of the central gap of your trackers. If you define a central gap (non-zero value), PVsyst considers that you have 2 separate sensitive areas on your tracker, so you'll have 2 modules rows on each side. You can set the central gap value to zero in order to have one row each side, but not sure that it will be realistic in your case.

Archicad drawing files are actually not supported by PVsyst. PVsyst support only 3D scene files (*.3DS, * .DAE, *.PVC), Helios3D files (*.H2P) and ground data described in a CSV formatted files (*.CSV). For more details, please refer to the PVsyst documentation: - https://www.pvsyst.com/help/index.html?sketchup.htm, - https://www.pvsyst.com/help/index.html?helios_3d.htm, - https://www.pvsyst.com/help/index.html?csv_ground_data.htm. For ground data, please take care to the CSV file format to respect.

Hi, In order to fix the blur, you'll need to activate the anti-aliasing rendering option. Also remember to update your PVsyst to the latest version.
