New, high-quality climate data for Germany is provided in the program version PV*SOL premium 2023, which was released at the end of November. Based on area-wide weather data from the German Weather Service (DWD) from 1995 to 2012, Valentin Software has created a data set that includes a TMY file (TMY = typical meteorological year) for every square kilometer in Germany. These data sets are optimized for PV applications and are unique in their quality. They are available to PV*SOL customers at no additional cost.
There are also new features for checking the configuration between PV modules and inverters. Among others, PV*SOL premium 2023 has introduced a check of the maximum short-circuit current for the inverters. This value can now be saved in the database. The configuration verification ensures that the inverter’s maximum short-circuit current is not exceeded.
Further innovations in PV*SOL premium 2023 are:
- Monthly consumption values can be provided with daily load profiles
- Performing two simulation steps in parallel for shaded 3D systems
- SolarAnywhere as an additional climate data provider
As in the previous versions, it is also possible in PV*SOL premium 2023 to import the electricity consumption of a heat pump system from the sister program GeoT*SOL as a load profile. This allows the degree of self-sufficiency of a building to be precisely determined for the power supply.
