winget install --id PVsyst.PVsystAbout PVsyst
PVsyst 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 weather data and PV systems components 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. PVsyst focuses on complete and precise PV system study with a complete set of tools.
What's new in 8.1.2
** Improvements - Bifacial: ground albedo can now be defined from a CSV file containing a time series - Project: improved message handling in the main project form to display project settings and variant messages - Storage: updated battery model, allowing for a more consistent energy balance tracking (*). ** Corrections - 3D scene: object selection is now correctly synchronized between the object tree and group editor - Economic evaluation: action icons in the "Investment and Costs" tab are visible again - Horizon: fixed incorrect azimuth handling in Meteonorm horizon import - Import Time Series: loading certain types of time series no longer causes crashes - Optimizers: fixed issue that could attribute the full inverter power to each string when the inverter was modified and saved after the system was designed - Optimizers, SolarEdge: systems with two sub-arrays, one with SolarEdge optimizers and one without, no longer cause crashes - Report: added an alternative rendering mode in settings to work around a crash caused by AMD Adrenalin GPU drivers on large scenes when printing the 3D scene - Standalone simulation: fixed issue triggering the backup generator when the battery SOC was high - Storage, power shifting: charging power is now correctly taken into account when the units are displayed in MW - Weather data, custom file: added validation for variable column assignments to prevent potential crashes. (*) More detailed information are available in PVsyst Forum (topic "Announcements - main changes - PVsyst 8.1.2").
