Problem importing from Photon

[klerindias]

Hello,

another problem is importing modules from photon db.

When with inverters it works with modules it doesnt.

Regards

Please explain what doesn't work with the import of PV modules.

Be aware that the PHOTON database is not perfect. Sometimes some parameters are missing, so that PVsyst is not able to use the concerned module.

Please carefully read the warning when importing the module.

Which browser are you using ?

Currently Internet Explorer, Firefox and GoogleChrome work quite well.

I have found the problem. It is related to the Internationalization parameters of Windows.

I have corrected it in the latest version 5.63.

Hoping this corrects this problem for everybody...

I have the same problem as the user bellow, I have PVsyst V5.57

how do I get the newest version to prevent this problem and be able to import data from Photon?

[André Mermoud]

For updating to the latest version 5.xx:

In PVsyst main menu, you have "Web" / "Check for updates ... "

If this doesn't work (sometimes due to firewall or proxy), you can always download the latest version from our web site www.pvsyst.com

I am having the same problem as stated above described by klerindias. I am currently running v6.1, and I can import from the inverter portion of the photon page, but not the module page. It yields the same error posted above whether I use IE, Chrome, or Firefox. Is there a solution implemented for the newer PVsyst version?

[André Mermoud]

Yes, the format of the PHOTON modules page has changed on 06/09/13.

I had to update the importing tool accordingly.

This will be OK in the next versions 6.12 and 5.71, available before the end of September.

Just my two cents about this: I had the same problem importing from photon database but I noticed that, if before pasting to PVsyst you paste to notepad and remove the line "picture" and then copy all and paste it to PVsyst, it works normally. I hope this helps someone, best regards to everyone on this very helpful forum.

Good day,

I also have trouble importing from Photon, specifically the Inverter Database.

I am using PVsyst V6.3.4 and Chrome, Firefox and IE11 to try and copy from the database. But the "import from Photon" button never appears.

I am copying from Supplier to the last sentance (CE mark), and I have double checked my method on YouTube. All seems to be in order with my method, yet the button fails to appear.

Restarted PVsyst, selected compatibility mode in IE11 etc etc... Still no button,,,
