    PVSYST Software

    PVSyst V 6.66 is a PC software package for the study, sizing and data analysis of complete PV systems. It
    deals with grid-connected, stand-alone, pumping and DC-grid (public transportation) PV systems, and
    includes extensive Meteo and PV systemscomponents databases, as well as general solar energy
    tools.This software is geared to the needs of architects, engineers, researchers. It is also very helpful
    for educational training.

    Basic approach:
    When opening PVsyst, it will go to the main page:This gives access to the four

    main parts of the program:

    “Preliminary design”

    provides a quick evaluation of the potentials and possible constraints of a project in a givensituation.
    This is very useful for the pre-sizing of Stand-alone and Pumping systems. For grid-connected systems, it
    is just an instrument for architects to get a quick evaluation of the PV potential of a building. The
    accuracy of this toolis limited and not intended to be used in reports for your customers.

    “Project design”

    is the main part of the software and is used for the complete study of a project. It involves thechoice of
    meteorological data, system design, shading studies, losses determination, and economic evaluation.
    Thesimulation is performed over a full year in hourly steps and provides a complete report and many
    additional results.

    “Databases”

    includes the climatic data management which consists of monthly and hourly data, syntheticgeneration
    of hourly values and importing external data. The databases contain also the definitions of all
    thecomponents involved in the PV installations like modules, inverters, batteries, etc.

    “Tools”

    provides some additional tools to quickly estimate and visualize the behaviour of a solar installation. It
    alsocontains a dedicated set of tools that allows measured data of existing solar installations to be
    imported for a closecomparison to the simulation.


    Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity
    A photovoltaic (PV) cell, commonly called a solar cell, is a nonmechanical device that converts sunlight
    directly into electricity. Some PV cells can convert artificial light into electricity.

    Sunlight is composed of photons, or particles of solar energy. These photons contain varying amounts of
    energy that correspond to the different wavelengths of the solar spectrum.

    The efficiency of photovoltaic systems


    The efficiency at which PV cells convert sunlight to electricity varies by the type of semiconductor
    material and PV cell technology. The efficiency of commercially available PV panels averaged less than
    10% in the mid-1980s, increased to around 15% by 2015, and is now approaching 25% for state-of-the
    art modules. Experimental PV cells and PV cells for niche markets, such as space satellites, have
    achieved nearly 50% efficiency.

    Applications of photovoltaic systems


    The smallest photovoltaic systems power calculators and wristwatches. Larger systems can provide
    electricity to pump water, power communications equipment, supply electricity for a single home or
    business, or supply electricity to thousands of electricity consumers.

    Some advantages of PV systems are:

     PV systems can supply electricity in locations where electricity distribution systems (power lines)
    do not exist, and they can also supply electricity to an electric power grid.

     PV arrays can be installed quickly and can be any size.

     The environmental effects of PV systems located on buildings is minimal.
