Production given for the 1st year only?

[sorpcom]

Hello every one,

Just a quick question to confirm that the production given by PVsyst (version 5.73) is the one of the 1st year ?

So to estimate the production over 20 years we need to do it manually by reducing the production given by something like 0.8% per year ?

Thanks for your answer.

Have a nice day.

Yes, the simulation with the usual parameters is valid for the first year.

In you want to take a degradation into account you can specify it in the parameter "Module Quality Loss".

NB: You can specify a degradation rate in the "Financial Balance" tool, which deals with the financial balance over several years, after defining the economical evaluation (inverstment).
