Trusted OND and PAN files

[RAMVEA]

How can we make sure that the given OND and PAN files are Trusted, Is there any Third party certifications.. and is ther any chance that PVsyst Validating them.

The main values are from the datasheets.

The performance of the real components (which you receive from your provider) cannot of course be assessed by PVsyst.

Therefore the PVsyst simulation can only be performed on the basis of the Datasheets parameters.

Now for the additional parameters of the PV modules (like Rserie, Rshunt, IAM), which are not mentioned on the datasheets, we perform a careful check of the values proposed by the manufacturers, and require third-party measurements when deviating from the PVsyst default.

See our FAQ How are specified the PAN files in the PVsyst database ?

For the inverter's performance (like efficiency) we are on the way of proposing the mention of a certification from third party organisms when available.
