Michele, thank you so much. I'm working on it now. One thing I've noticed, my date ranges are always in 1990. Is there any way to correct that to match my data set ?

Michele, Thank you for the input! I'd assumed it would be a batch mode method out of shear ignorance. Batch mode "looked right". I need a set of 5 days running to show a Performance Ratio demonstrating the system meets warranty, a substantial completion requirement. The comparison is required to show Actual Revenue vs weather corrected predicted revenue. I had assumed there'd be a way to run 5 days with the actual data. Duke requires GlobHor, T_Amb, GlobInc, EArrMPP, EArray, TArray, EOutInv, E_Grid. I was able to run it, and have 2 CSV file, BatchParams and BatchResults. I didn't change BatchPArams at all before tunning, so I am assuming BatchResults is incomplete. What I need to know - how can I enter values for the variable above to produce a PVsyst report? From my reading the production ratio they want is theoretical output corrected for actual weather divided by actual output. I have the actual output and can put it in, and I have the actual weather and can put it in. Theoretical output is modelled per their requirements. Is it possible to get the Production Ratio Chart to reflect these values ?

Hey All - Thanks in advance. I'm surfing threads looking for hints now, and have 2 basic issues. I'm modelling a built system that's being commissioned for Duke. They want to compare actual to predicted production for PPI, and they say they get it in PVSyst normally. I've got the project created, and am trying out how to create the batch mode CSV file and then modify it with the collected data from the Revenue Meter and SCADA (POM and BOM) to get the PPI. In Batch mode, I'm not getting a new CSV to modify created. I had to try it a few times, and the very first there was a few dialog boxes. They've never come back, even when I redid the project from Scratch. After that, I'm also quite clueless on how to modify the CSV in Excel with existing value to get production values. Like I said I am actively looking for clues, and I've been working with he videos and help files, but this doesn't seem to be addressed. John
