[8760 individual inverter Power output]

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:

[East West racking with .PVC file]

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?

 

 

[PVsyst opening in different windows]

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,

[Exporting Components (PAN and OND)]

that worked. thanks!!

[Exporting Components (PAN and OND)]

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?

[MPPT Power Sharing with Chint 50kWac and 60kWac String inverters]

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! 

 

[array length (coll. band width)]

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

[Tracking ranges (datasheet vs PVsyst input)]

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

[Tracking ranges (datasheet vs PVsyst input)]

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!

[Bifacial Carport Modeling]

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 :!:

[.PAN and .OND files]

Thank you!

[.PAN and .OND files]

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!
