  1. NREL SAM might be a better option for this type of analysis, Voc is a variable you can output and viewin the results, so modifying tilt and checking the output is possible.
  2. Tilt and orientation will vary the current mostly as this changes amount of irradiance received. Temperature will affect the voltage more; irradiance, not so much.
  3. https://www.pvsyst.com/help/index.html?csv_ground_data.htm
  4. select the objects and rotate 180
  5. Not to my knowledge. You can view the data, but it wont tell you something like this. SolarGIS Analyst might be what you are looking for.
  6. In PVsyst shading menu, under tools, there is an option called "orientations management". In there you can see more details on which tables are assigned to which orientations. If you wish to change the number of orientations from 8 down to 1, you can also do that inside that menu.
  7. Run a full year simulation at the stow position. Identify the hours of stow according to your own methods then replace the hours under stow in the regular yearly output with the data from the stow simulation. This will give you an expected production delta when you compare the two.
  8. Use batch simulation. You can define simple parameters like GCR, number of strings, etc. You may want to consider a simple variant (unlimited sheds, etc) to get faster run time or ability to change pitch if you are interested in that. Batch simulation is where you create one variant, define in a csv file the simulation parameters for each simulation, 1 per row. PVsyst will step through each one and simulate one at a time and output the 8760 data for the variables you have selected.
  9. import reference images from the source you are importing from. CAD layouts, google, etc. use reference image to line up the objects. I would first move the image to match the PV and wind turbines, then move the terrain, just easier to select one object vs many
  10. Yes, in the shade scene, you can pull up all objects and export all data. It is under tools menu.
  11. See thread here.
  12. EArray = EarrMPP - (IL_Pmax + EGridLm) Clipping losses.
  13. separate array into separate areas, import one at a time, save the objects on each import within PVsyst once saved, then open them all up in single shade scene. if the file is that big consider if you are importing trivial things. if there are significant trees, consider deleting them and adding the trees from within
  14. Yes, as long as string size is the same and the input currents are within inverter spec, you can do anything. But the question is not that, but instead if mppt inputs can be jumpered. With chint inverters, they can, at least for the 50 and 60kw versions. Haven't used string inverters in a while. We ran into a situation where they weren't jumpered in the field and we were getting high losses/overloading. After they were jumpered, we saw expected performance. havent used Huawei so don't have anything to help you with them specifically at the moment.
  15. It is not used for production (yield).
  16. Which manufacturer said this? You may not want to power share if it cant be done in the field, otherwise you will underestimate your clipping losses. Take for example you have a DC/AC ratio on one MPPT input of 1.0 and on another MPPT input a ratio of 1.4. The latter will have high clipping losses if you don't have power sharing in field. If the DC/AC ratios are similar or the same, then I think you could be fine, but if they are significantly different, I would not.
  17. You have a very low DC/AC ratio for that inverter. To get around this, go into advanced settings and set the following. If you need to adjust it lower, set the first one there to .01. The inverter is oversized for that design though, so you might be better off with something smaller.
  18. Maybe a bug or glitch. Set it to horizontal N-S tracker in orientation menu, save the variant, close and reopen PVsyst.
  19. Import a custom meteo file with your data. Refer to screenshot here. You will define whether it is fixed tilt or tracker, and what tilt it is at. PVsyst will then calculate GHI and DHI based off the POA and your system information.
  20. Under field type select horizontal N-S tracker, not the one you have selected.
  21. Correct, they are illustrative only for the chart, and serve no function in calculation.
  22. There is no single right answer. Consider April, snow loss not very substantial, the average is 0.12%, which means half the time it will be less and you would consider that to mean there is not a "cleaning event" taking place. The preceding month is 0.76%, which is also low. It would be more helpful to look at the rainfall and snowfall quantities in inches instead of the soiling percentages to get an idea of how much precipitation (soling/liquid) it is receiving on average. And then keep in mind these are averages. Do you want to be conservative or aggressive? You can consider a number of ways to come up with a combined profile. I dont have all of the data, but just based off this might consider adding a baseline soiling rate to Jan, Feb, Mar, and Dec snow loss %s, and take the soiling loss %s the remainder months.
  23. 2727/96 = 28.4 mod in series. Your design specs are off. What is the correct minimum site temperature? You're carrying the PVsyst default of -10degC. Separately, it is a difference of one module, or .036%, not very significant. Depending on the site temperature and the correct string size for this location based on the module selected, you may exceed the maximum input voltage of the inverter by increasing the string size, but to the previous point, the impact is not very significant in that regard either.
