How to define a different Power Optimizer than SolarEdge

[Alex Masolin]

Dear all,

I'd like to simulate a system comprising Power Optimizers (one every two modules) and Power-One string inverters. In total, one roof and 3 orientations.

I can see that only SolarEdge Power Optimizers are implemented (WHY?) and in "read-only" mode.

Unfortunately, my Power Optimizers are from another brand (i.e. Tigo). I don't see any reason why PVsyst can't simulate them as the architecture is the same for the SolarEdge case, but with different electrical parameters...

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance and regards,

Alex Masolin

Each Power optimizer works on a different mode, so that it needs a specific development in PVsyst.

I have worked closely with Solaredge for elaborating the SolarEdge architecture.

I'm on the way just now to develop other power optimizers, with the help of their manufacturers.

The TIGO technology should be available soon (within 1-2 months).

Dear André,

do you have some news about the availability of Tigo technology modeling in PVsyst?

Thanks in advance!

Any updates on how to use Tigo optimizers in PVsyst?

Thanks!

TIGO Optimizers are available for PVsyst V6.27 or higher.

In the 'System' dialog check 'Use Optimizer' (in the module selection group). A pull-down menu will appear below the module selection field, where you can choose the model of the optimizer.
