Hi Andre, Is it possible to import jpeg image files into PVsyst for use in shading scene?

Hi Andre, I would like to know whether E_Array_Ref value is the array output before the occurence of irradiance and thermal loss.Which of the two values (E_Array_Ref or E_Array_Nom) is used as base to calculate the losses that come after panel level in a grid connected system.

Hi all, From given values of shading limit angle, altitude angle, solar azimuth angle for very hour in a day , what formula do i use or how i can calculate shading factor for beam, diffuse and albedo component. Then what formula can i use to calculate diffuse horizontal from global horizontal radiation when global horizontal radiation data is given for every 15 mins in a day.what formula PVsyst uses to calculate the above

Thanks Andre, I would like to know how exactly do i calculate the values of EArrayRef and EArrayNom because when i manually calculated these values using formula given in PVsyst help i didnt get my answer matching exactly with values generated by PVsyst i.e with a difference of abt 5000 when the value was in 10 million. To the above mentioned two values what formula can i apply to calculate irradiance and thermal loss? In one calculation, I calculated the values Iph(photocurrent) and V ( output voltage) from panel using following calculations Iph(G, T) = (G/Gref)· [iph,ref + μIs c· (T − Tref )] V = (Vmppref + tempcoeffof VmppSTC.(Tc-Tref)) where Tc- calculated cell temperature Tstc - cell temperature at reference conditions Vmmp - max power point voltage at STC μIs c - temperature coefficient of Isc Then i calculated Output power from array by using above calculated values (Iph*V) and tried calculating thermal loss by applying temp coeef at Pmpp but later found that this output power that i have calculated already incorporated deductions in irradiance and thermal loss.Now that i have effective input irradiance to array and this output power, how do i obtain split up of irradiance and thermal loss that occurs in between my input and this output power that i have calculated.

Hi all, I would like to know how PVsyst calculates the efficiency of module at STC and non STC conditions from corrected Rshunt values.This is for the purpose of calculating irradiance loss
