Command for saving a PDF files using the CLI

[Gustavo Pianovski]

Hello,

What is the command for saving a PDF files using the PVsyst CLI?

I'm doing some testing on two projects.

 

In project A, the PDF is saved correctly. I'm executing the following command: 

PVsystCLI.exe run-simulation -w:"C:\Users\PC-03\PVsyst8.0_Data" -p:"F 2025 999 TesteCLI_Project" -v:"VC2"   -bpf:"C:\Users\PC-03\PVsyst8.0_Data\UserBatch\F_2025_999_TesteCLI_Project_BatchParams_0.CSV" -brf:"C:\Users\PC-03\PVsyst8.0_Data\Models\Simulacao_Plurianual.rvt"  -isf:"C:\Users\PC-03\PVsyst8.0_Data\Models\Saidas.SFI"

 

In project B, it saves CSV files but not the PDF:

 PVsystCLI.exe run-simulation -w:"C:\Users\PC-03\PVsyst8.0_Data" -p:"F 2025_Project" -v:"VC1"   -bpf:"C:Users\PC-03\PVsyst8.0_Data\UserBatch\F_2025_Project_BatchParams_3.CSV" -brf:"C:\Users\PC-03\PVsyst8.0_Data\Models\Simulacao_Plurianual.rvt"  -isf:"C:\Users\PC-03\PVsyst8.0_Data\Models\Saidas_Certificacao.SFI"  

 

Additionally, why is simulating a batch using the PVsyst CLI slower than simulating the same batch directly in PVsyst? In my analysis, using the CLI is 1.5 times slower.

Dear Gustavo,

You can manage the report generation by using these options:

 

-rpf option will let you choose the ouput path for the generated PDF.

Regarding the simulation time, we have not observed a difference between PVsyst and PVsystCLI for the batch mode.

For a more detailed analysis, you can export and send your project (PVsyst main menu File>Export project) and your batch configuration files (CSV, RVT, and SFI) to support@pvsyst.com

Regards.
