.PAN and .OND files

[rexpartner]

I always have trouble getting the PAN and OND files from manufacturers. They never answer the phones or email. What is the best way to get a PAN file?

Do people use the module data sheets and make their own .PAN files within PVsyst?

Thanks!

Hello,

We update the database using the requests of the manufacturers, and publish it with each new issue of PVsyst.

We can't of course follow all the new products of all manufacturers in the world. We don't want to include data without the acknowledgement of the manufacturer.

Nevertheless you can easily create your own components by yourself. The easiest way is to choose a similar existing device in the database, modify its parameters according to the manufacturer's datasheets, and save it under a new name, therefore creating a new file in your database.

You have a tutorial for that on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/PVsystTutos, page Component database
