Inverters
This task allows you to define the inverter specifications (for both central and string inverters) that will be used in your site.
Importing Inverter Specifications
There is support for importing PVsyst *.OND
inverter files (as long as they are in text file format - generally from PVsyst version 6.40 onwards).
You can also import inverter specifications in SolarFarmer's proprietary *.InverterSpec
file format.
Defining the Properties
After creating a brand-new inverter specification or importing a file you are presented with multiple properties.
Any validation errors in the values will be highlighted in red, with additional validation information appearing at the top in a red (errors) or orange (warnings) drop-down. Any errors must be rectified before the inverter specification can be used in the energy yield calculation.
Exporting Inverter Specifications
You can export the inverter specification values to a file (*.InverterSpec
) format - a proprietary SolarFarmer format and can be imported into other SolarFarmer workbooks). There is currently no support to export to the PVsyst .OND format.
