Be careful what you paste into a terminal. Check what a command installs before running it.

What is PVsyst?

PVsyst is a software application for architects, engineers, and researchers. It provides detailed reports of results, which can be exported to other platforms. The software includes a Help menu to guide users through project development and can import data from various sources.

PVsyst allows for the design of grid-connected, standalone, or pumping photovoltaic systems. It aids in project sizing, visualizing sizing constraints, and loss analysis. Users can define unlimited orientations for customization and combine trackers and fixed plans in one simulation. The software calculates annual energy distribution and provides detailed reports on gains and losses.

The software includes tools for setting up shading, modeling 3D scenes, and defining distant shadows. It can calculate electrical shading losses precisely.

PVsyst offers tools for grid storage and self-consumption, simulating bifacial installations and photovoltaic systems on single or dual-axis trackers, and locating projects and importing meteorological data. It provides tools for exploring ageing, optimization, and batch processing, economic assessment, and access to a regularly updated database of components. It also allows for the simulation of sun-tracking pumping systems and the evaluation of the efficiency of off-grid installations with energy storage.
