Export Half hour values of the simulation

[saru bala]

Hi, 

Currently, we can export a CSV of all the values in hourly values. 

is there a way to get it for every half hour?

Hello,

In the current version, PVsyst simulation is hourly based. Thus any sub-hourly phenomenon has to be averaged. Sub-hourly simulation should be available in PVsyst 8.1, but the release date is not yet defined (Normally in the beginning of 2026).

Nonetheless, we included a sub-hourly clipping correction in PVsyst 8.0, allowing the simulation to consider sub-hourly irradiance fluctuation for clipping. You can refer to the dedicated section in our help page for more information.

The last option is to use the so-called pseudo-subhourly simulation. The idea is to run n hourly simulations (in your case n = 60min/30min -> 2 ) then recombine the results. You can find a PDF tutorial about the whole process in our website:  Pseudo sub-hourly Simulation

Kind regards
