Transitioning from version 8.0.13 to 8.0.16 query - inputs & losses diagram

[George Anstee-Rymer]

Hi all, 

I have started at a new company where PVsyst is the primary tool they use for generation figures etc. I have experience with using PVsyst but have not used it in depth for a while.

One of our reports was produced on 8.0.13. I now have 8.0.16 (and no access to 8.0.16). When I open the project (which was produced on 8.0.13), it appears that, without me changing a single thing manually, some of the inputs are changed automatically.

For example, the system is 33.91MWp & 24.96MW (comprised of 78 no. 320kW inverters). However, 8.0.16 automatically changed this to 88 inverters, so I had to manually revert it back to being 78. 

Another example is the bifacial losses and gains. I noticed that, again without me manually doing anything other than opening the project in a newer version, the report didn't show any bifacial losses in the losses diagram. When I looked into it, it's because in the bifacial system dialog, in the 'bifacial model' section, the 'don't use in simulation' box had been checked. To clarify this can't have been the case previously as these losses showed in the old report.

So my two questions are:

> Why is this happening and can I prevent this from happening?

> I want to see what detailed losses and inputs my predecessor in the role put in for the design on 8.0.13. Without access to 8.0.13, is there any way I can find these?

Thanks in advance
