Our simulation programs for photovoltaic systems are practical and user-friendly specialized
tools that have much in common. PV*SOL basic is speci? cally f or the design and simulation of
grid connected systems with a single PV area, with full feed-in and net metering systems.
PV*SOL advanced gridcon and PV*SOL Expert are for grid connected systems with full feed-in
or net metering systems with up to six PV arrays, and PV*SOL advanced standalone specializes in
stand-alone systems. In addition, PV*SOL Expert provides you with an impressive 3D tool for the
visualization and detailed shade analysis of roof integrated and mounted grid connected systems.
With the climate data generator MeteoSyn you have access to almost every climate data record
you require from a selection of 8 000 weather stations worldwide. And you can generate your own
locations based on monthly averages. In the component databases you will ? nd over 10 000 modules

PV*SOL basic the sprinter of simulation programs

Reliable planning is a high priority, even when carrying out a quick design. If you want to
easily determine the module number for a PV array or a single roof area, PV*SOL basic is
the right choice. It simulates photovoltaic systems with a maximum of 1 000 modules and
a single PV area. The software checks the combination of modules and inverters, as well as
the cable cross-sections. You are able to aut omatically or manually con? gure up to three
inverter types.
