ok, still not working on this project

yes, "enable shadow casting" is turned on. still no shading effect

hi, i am having issues with near shading scenes in 8.0.5. the shade is not being calculated at all. 0%. we put a tree adjacent to the carports and it is still reading 0% near shading loss. a few iterations before, we were getting the near shading to work. we tried the same project on 2 separate computers. This has happened on a couple other projects this week. see photos below. thanks!

we are getting this on projects that were setup in version 7 but now being simulated in 8.0. can anyone help with this issue? we cannot run any simulations with 3D scene. "an orientation needs a representative tracker to be defined for the diffuse shadings calculation"

Hi, i am wondering if there is a way to get the output of each inverter in the 8760 file to fill out the table below:

Hi, I am having an issue running and east west configuration with imported terrain. it looks like too many configurations. can i have some help?

Hi PVsyst team, I have 3 monitors and every time I open a new window on PVsyst (for example I click on 3D scene or run simulation) that new window opens up on another screen and I have to drag it over. it seems so random. why would it not all stay on the same screen? Thanks, -Rex

that worked. thanks!!

It seems like i can only export the components which i have uploaded in the past. i do not have access to export to the database already in Pvsyst. Is there a way around this?

try and change portrait to landscape

I have an issue with MPPT power sharing. each inverter has 3 MPPT inputs. there are 3 inverters total and the MPPT breakdown is this for all 3: CHINT CPS SCA60KTL-DO/US-480V MPPT #1 = 4 strings of 15 mods per string (540W module) MPPT #2 = 4 strings of 15 mods per string (540W module) MPPT #3 = 2 strings of 14 modules per string (540W module) Remember there are 3 total inverters so I have a total of: 24 strings of 15 mods per string 6 strings of 14 mods per string PVsyst is not letting me power share correctly. it is not giving me the option. I have experience with power sharing in the past, but i cant get to the screen that lets you move around the strings on each inverter. Thanks for your help!

Hello All, For fixed tilt layout we must define a Collector band width. Lets use an example of 2 modules in portrait at 25 degree tilt (each module is 2m length with no space in between). My question is using the total module length vs. tilt adjusted total module length as the input for Collector band width. Using the total module length will give an input of 4m and the tilt adjusted total module length will give an input of 3.63m (Cos25=Adjacent/4m). The latter is correct from a top down view and i just want clarification on which input should be used for Collector band width. When i mess with it, i realize this calculation might be already considered but i want to be sure

i think i was looking at this wrong. PVsyst is measuring from vertical axis.

hey guys, I need to know if a 120 degree tracking range correlates with the following pvsyst Orientation input --> Phi min -60deg , Phi max 60deg. I feel like it this isnt correct. PVsyst seems to be measuring from the horizontal and looks to have a shallow tracking range when +- 60 deg is being used for Phi max and min. For example, a +- 52deg tracking range is actually steeper on pvsyst than +-60deg tracking range. Thank you!

Is this possible to do within PVsyst? I get this error when i try to model several orientations of carports and activate the bifacial button. The shading scene is complete and accurate. Thanks :!: -Rex

Thank you!

I always have trouble getting the PAN and OND files from manufacturers. They never answer the phones or email. What is the best way to get a PAN file? Do people use the module data sheets and make their own .PAN files within PVsyst? Thanks!
