Fresh Questions, Practical Answers: PVsyst Q&A Series #2

1. Question: Can PVsyst export hourly photovoltaic output? [Answer from Teacher Chen]: Yes, you can. Open the PVsyst simulation interface and click the "Output File" button, which is "Export file", as shown in Figure 1. ▲Figure 1 After opening, the interface shown in Figure 2 appears. By default, PVsyst does not output any files after simulation, but we can choose to output files and set the relevant formats of the output files, such as date and time format, separator symbol for numerical values, and whether the time span of numerical values is displayed in hours, months, or days. There is a blank option box on the right side, where you can select the corresponding variables according to your needs. The variables from top to bottom in Figure 2 are the total radiation amount of the photovoltaic plane, the maximum power output of the DC-side photovoltaic arrays, and the mismatch loss…
