PV*SOL is now available in the new Version 4.0
2010, February 8 - 6:00pm
The following new features have been added:
- The roof parameters dialogue has been completely redesigned (Option: Determine Output from Roof Area) so that any shape of roof with restricted areas and PV installation areas can be produced. Flat roof systems can now be simulated with the modules facing in a different direction to the roof.
- Unbalanced load regulations can now be taken into account.
- The programme now has a modern new look.
- There are new manuals in all 5 programme languages.
- The PV module part load operation calculation has been adjusted.
- For Germany: Pre-defined feed-in tariffs according to the Renewable Energy Act (EEG 2010) are included.
Please note:
- Because the calculation of the PV module part load operation has been adjusted the yields for some thin-film modules have changed. Yield reductions of up to 2% or yield increases of up to 4% are possible.
- In order to open existing project files more quickly, please copy these beforehand into the new project folder for PV*SOL 4.0.
The following fixes have been made:
- The programme can also be started by double-clicking on the project file in Explorer.
- The nominal output for the modules is now only calculated in kWp.
- Internal data fixes have been made, in particular for inverter configuration selection.
- Inverters with more than 4 MPP trackers can now be calculated more quickly.
- The programme is now even more user-friendly in many areas.
