Detailed Design and Shade Analysis of Ground Mounted Systems now Possible with PV*SOL® Expert 5.5
Ground Mounted System in 3-D Mode
PV*SOL® Expert, the dynamic simulation program with 3D visualization and detailed shading analysis for PV systems from Berlin-based Valentin Software is now available with extended features for mounted PV systems in 3D mode and US measurement units.
With the new 3D object “open area”, ground mounted systems (with up to 2,000 modules) can be reproduced on a slope or level ground in PV*SOL® Expert’s 3D visualization. This means that, in addition to the differentiated shading analysis of mounted PV systems on buildings – which has already been possible since version 5.0 – the corresponding shading analysis can now be carried out for ground mounted systems.
An “open area” can, however, also be used to align a number of 3D objects together. For example, you can use an open area to position or adapt 3D objects such as trees, buildings, bay windows, walls that are fixed or can be rotated, round chimneys, all types of barred areas, as well as edge distances and inspection paths.
Furthermore, in 3D visualization the new version PV*SOL® Expert 5.5 offers the possibility of joint configuration of a number of PV areas as well as manual configuration (in addition to automatic configuration). A meandering course for the individual strings is possible.
US measurement units have also been introduced in the new version PV*SOL® Expert 5.5 – in Photo Plan, 2D roof design and 3D visualization.
All of the PV*SOL® programs include extensive module and inverter databases now containing over 10,000 modules and 2,100 inverters, which are continually updated and expanded by the automatic update function. The data is updated online by the module and inverter manufacturers. Valentin Software then checks the data and makes it regularly available to PV*SOL® users via the update function.
Users can select five languages within program: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. The manual is now also available in all five languages.
