Description
PV F-CHART is an all-encompassing software tool for analyzing and designing photovoltaic systems. This program offers estimates of monthly-average performance for every hour throughout the day. It employs calculation methods established by the University of Wisconsin, which effectively utilize solar radiation data while considering the statistical fluctuations in both radiation and energy loads. Additionally, it includes weather data for more than 300 locations, with the flexibility to integrate more data as needed. The program also features hourly load profiles for each month, adjustments for statistical load variations, time-of-day pricing for energy transactions, and comprehensive life-cycle economic analysis that includes cash flow considerations and monthly variations in parameters. By integrating these diverse functionalities, PV F-CHART stands out as a robust solution for photovoltaic system analysis.
Description
Swiftly create site capacity layouts for large-scale utility projects of various sizes by utilizing a click-and-drag interface, allowing you to position tracker blocks at any desired angle throughout the project area. Conduct more precise site evaluations in a shorter timeframe by examining all piers and confirming that trackers can be installed according to specifications. Remove uncertainty from the equation and observe how changes to structural and electrical elements influence system design and performance predictions. Produce automatic pier plans that include pier placements, surface elevations, and top-of-pile reports tailored for leading tracker systems such as Nextracker and Array Technologies. Additionally, the software can automatically create a PVSyst shade scene (.SHD) file, as well as a project file (.PRJ) and a meteo file (.MET). Once these files are generated, they can be opened in PVSyst to simulate the energy yield while considering topographical impacts. This streamlined process not only simplifies the design export to PVSyst but also enhances the accuracy of bankable energy yield modeling, making it an essential tool for project developers. The ability to visualize and adjust designs dynamically contributes significantly to optimizing project outcomes.
