"Powerful Solar Generation Simulation with Detailed Probability based Outputs"
What do you like best about PVsyst?

It simulates a grid-connected or islanded solar power plant and provides the expected generation with different probability levels (P50, P75, P90, P95, P99, etc.). Depending on the data source used, you can obtain monthly generation, hourly generation, or even minute-by-minute generation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PVsyst?

Importing the 3D file into PVsyst is challenging for me because it often leads to errors. Also, when I create a PVC file from the rated power and import it into PVsyst, an additional orientation is created automatically. This extra orientation is different from the one I set up in the system itself, and with these two orientations the results come out differently.

Another issue is partitioning. When defining the partitioning in PVsyst, different types of partitioning give different results for electrical shading losses. For example, for 2P modules (two modules in portrait), what I usually follow is 4 partitions on the Y-axis and 2 partitions on the X-axis for a 60-module table, which should form two strings. However, I have seen simulations from Big5 using different partitions and getting different results.

One more problem I observed is that with ground and without ground results are different which should not be the case Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pvsyst: A powerful software for both students and professionals"
What do you like best about PVsyst?

There are a lot of libraries of components and converters related to the PV area, allowing the user to model a wide range of configurations. Nonetheless, this characteristic is enhanced by the user-friendly interface provided. This way, the software is ideal to beginners and for experient users as wel..

"A great software for partial shading assessment."
What do you like best about PVsyst?

I like how I can add modules and string separation, and when compiling, receive the entire shading history. That is reassuring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PVsyst?

The software could create more tutorials. I believe there are many features that are difficult to access. Providing real project examples and step-by-step guides on how to execute them would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
