Can't see PVSyst 7.4version project file in PVSyst 8.x.x version program.

[Swonno]

Hello PVSyst team and Users,

Happy New Year,,

 

I'm trying to move PVSyst 8.x version these days but a lttile bit afriad of many feautres to adjust. 

Back to the business, I am currently using PVSyst 7.4 version to design and simulate but once I open PVSyst 8.x version at the first page 

I can't see previous projects that i had worked in PVSyst 7.4. 

 

Moreover, Even some projects that i worked in PVSyst 8.x I can't see also. 

Can you guide me how can i see the projects ?

 

Thank you

When I import some pvsyst 8.x projects , I can't see them. (I can see pvsyst 8.x project at the fisrt page but can't find while i import the project.)

Dear Swonno,

On first V8 run, PVsyst copy your V7 files (located in folder PVsyst7.0_Data) in a new folder (PVsyst8.0_Data). From this point, this new folder is the used to store your V8 work.

You can always import V7 data when you work with PVsyst V8 using the import component command but you cannot import V8 data when you work with PVsyst V7. Pvsyst is not designed to read files from a later version (the same way as Excel 97 – 2003 cannot read .xlsx files). You can always read all Pvsyst file formats when you use the last version of Pvsyst but there is no guarantee that you can read new files using an old Pvsyst version.

 

You can find more detailed information about user data in PVsyst help:
