That doesn't sound like much fun! I'll stick to text thanks :) It's just that I've been hearing mutterings of panels performing less well in humid conditions over a long period of time. Some say it has to do with the moisture/heat causing the backing to delaminate and allowing corrosion to set in. I was just prodding you to see whether you know anything about it and whether it may, at some time in the future, be included in the modelling stage or whether it is just a quality issue brought about by a poor/untested choice of materials on the part of the manufacturer. Thanks for that. Cheers Roy

Okay so I take it you mean it is a proprietary format that you're not willing to elaborate on? Super, this is very helpful. That means I can create a CSV file for my module and just import it into PVsyst? I have a few questions regarding the "PV Modules V6.0" sheet in the excel spreadsheet entitled "Components.xls" from the \PVsyst6_Data\UserData\ folder: I don't see any compensation for PV module performance in relation to humidity. Do you foresee this as a setting in the future? Cell W7 (maximum power temperature coefficient) contains an incomplete comment: "For crystalline modules: if not specified, will..." what is missing? No this is an exercise to understand what PVsyst will accept in the way of module performance parameters.

I'm conducting some research concerning PV module performance and would like to create a custom PAN file based on measured data from a specific model of PV module located at various locations around the world. Could anybody shed some light (pun intended) on the data format of a v6 PAN file and how one would create such a (binary?) file with external software (e.g. Matlab, Scilab, python, etc.) So far I know that one can generate PAN files from within PVsyst based on the STC values extracted from the PHOTON database. I would like to create a PAN file which includes more detailed data covering module performance in a variety of climatic and light intensity conditions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
