Hi Andre, Suppose I want to use batch mode to simulate several years of weather data. Is it possible to get an hourly output file generated for each of the years of weather data? Or are the outputs only annual when we run the batch mode? I am wondering because in the "parameter specification" tab in batch mode there is a box we can check which reads "Create hourly files". However, I have not been able to get hourly files output for each year. Best regards, Sophie

Hello, I just discovered PVsyst's batch mode and am very happy about this, since it will allow me to run several years of weather data at one time :D I have been able to use the batch mode successfully when I don't ask for hourly output files to be created. When I ask for hourly output files to be created, I don't get any yearly (or hourly) output for the MET files. Could you explain how to use the batch mode with several MET files and get hourly output for each? Best regards, Sophie

Thanks Andre for the quick and helpful reply.

Hello, I want to model trackers in complex topography. I saw in the PVsyst help that for trackers "The program chooses one significant tracker in the middle of the system, and evaluates the shading factor table for this element only, using the neighbor trackers, but neglecting other eventual shading sources." I am wondering, if I define different tracking planes (shading objects) at different elevations, whether PVsyst will take the elevations into account to calculate the shading. If so, how? Does the program pick one tracker in the middle of each tracking plane/each shading object? I was also wondering whether backtracking is always uniform across all tracking planes. I am interested in modelling a case where backtracking is different for different planes. Best regards, Sophie
