How to do series simulation of heterogenous arrays

[Pranav Maheshwari]

Hi, I wanted to simulate the mismatch losses when combining 2 different modules in series in the same string. PVsyst has the option to simulate the Electrical behaviour of two different arrays connected in parallel, but we wanted to simulate the electrical behaviour of different arrays connected in series.

E.g. we wanted to check the mismatch loss when 9 x poly crystalline 335 Wp modules are connected in series with 2 x mono PERC bifacial 540 Wp modules.

We understand this is not usual, as it would cause warranty voids from the OEMs but still if we just want to simulate this behavior, is there a way?

Sorry, this is not possible in PVsyst.  You cannot specify an heterogeneous string this is a simulation.
