Gabriel.Kroes Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Hi guysI'm very new to modeling with PVsyst. Some of my questions may seem as obvious, but please be patient.I'm trying to model a ground mounted PV array for 10 MW site in the Easter Cape of South Africa. One of the problems that I'm encountering is when opening the Shading/Scene/Construction function, the site seems upside down with North at the bottom and South at the top and I can't find a way to get this to show the right way (North) up. When importing images from Google Earth, they're the right way up with North at the top, so I have to rotate them by 180 deg and I'm constantly designing upside down.
André Mermoud Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Defining the south at top in the southern hemisphere is a choice of PVsyst. This is natural as the installations (tables) are oriented towards north. In this way you see them from front. If you define the north at top, in the perspective views you will see the PV installation from its rear side.
ClaireWest Posted January 8 Posted January 8 How do we define north at the top? This is very irritating as in the simulation report the shading scene shows upside down. I have tried "save this view for the report" with north upwards but it is still flipped when i produce the simulation report (or click "load report view")
Stéphane Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Thank you for pointing that out. This is a bug that will be fixed in an upcoming version of PVsyst. Sorry for the inconvenience.
