Installing a solar energy generation system is not an easy task; there are numerous factors and variables that the technicians responsible for the installation must consider to ensure the equipment functions properly. In this article, we will discuss the design and simulation software responsible for dynamic simulation with 3D visualization and detailed shading analysis for photovoltaic system calculations: PV*Sol.
Simulation is Necessary Before Installation
For a solar energy generation system to produce the expected amount of electricity, one essential element is required: sunlight. While this may seem simple, there are locations where sunlight can be affected by natural or artificial factors.
Areas that are cloudy or have a geographical location with low incidence of strong sunlight can impair photovoltaic systems. Similarly, a house surrounded by large buildings that cast shadows for most of the day will experience artificial interference on its system.
Photovoltaic systems can be installed even under these conditions, but care must be taken to overcome these challenges and achieve the expected amount of solar energy from your project. These precautions can be planned through detailed calculations to define dimensions, locations, and angles for photovoltaic system installation.
About the PV*Sol Simulation Software
The PV*Sol simulation software is a way to calculate precisely how your project's photovoltaic generation system needs to be installed, in addition to ensuring correct investments and assisting in generating the maximum possible amount of electricity.
PV*Sol can create 3D simulations; its high degree of realism aids in calculating and verifying the installation conditions for solar panels. The program has several visualization modules and a series of displays with technical information on how the system is reacting to each installation. Each installation method is tested by the system.
Users will be able to visualize an environment very similar to what they will have in their project, calculate the solar incidence load, measure the number of modules, determine their location, and understand how they should be installed to obtain the best possible result. Additionally, the system estimates the amount of cabling, inverter specifications, and everything related to the installation of a photovoltaic energy generation system.
In 2017, the German system was released with a Portuguese version, facilitating the lives of Brazilian users and demonstrating that the growth in the number of photovoltaic solar energy users is eminent.
