No Component Available

[gonecrawfishin]

I recently updated my software to V6.67. I've imported a .pan and .ond file for my panel and inverters, respectively. I go to project -> grid system definition and can find the module & inverter I'm looking for. I select them, pick my numbers of strings etc. and click ok. I even ran a simulation, no problem.

The software is having a hard time retaining my component definitions, though. When I go to revise the configuration, I get the error message "No component available now on the market for this manufacturer" and it erases my previous selections. I have to re-select my module/inverter each time.

If I don't reselect, and hit "cancel" exit out of the grid system definition window, my "system" button turns red and I get the following error: Error while reading hte PV module "xxxx.ond" : File not found You will have to define another one in "System" definitions!

I open the definitions again and now I can't select my module; it said my module was invalid. So I close out and try to reopen, and now it's found the module exactly as I had defined it before.

I'm not sure what's going on it's just being very buggy every time I try to open the grid system definition window to make any changes. Note, this started after I went through my detailed losses and made some changes to match my project specifics. Help!

I am having the same issue, with a system with 5 sub-arrays. I hit "all modules" rather than "available now", but PVsyst keeps changing this and then giving the same error message you got.

Tagging on to this thread, V6.66 has the same error for imported OND files. These files have been provided by the manufacturer.

Every time I save and switch the variant, it gives me this problem.
