PVsyst is a famous solar photovoltaic system design software for simulation design and data analysis, developed by PVSyst from Switzerland. As a fully-functional photovoltaic system simulation software, it is able to carry out modeling and simulation of the photovoltaic power generation system, analyze various factors affecting the electric energy production, and finally calculate the generating capacity of the entire photovoltaic power generation system. It is a software package commonly used in the photovoltaic industry for completely researching, measuring, simulating and analyzing the photovoltaic systems.
PVsyst provides preliminary design tools, engineering design tools, database devices management tools and results simulation & comparison tools. It can set different environmental parameters (including solar radiation, temperature, latitude and longitude, building height, and so on) according to different types of solar systems (such as independently operated ones, the ones connected to the mains) and different types of solar cells (such as monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, different brand, different model), and quickly and efficiently calculate the total amount of electricity generated by solar cells.
In addition, PVsyst contains abundant meteorological resource libraries from NASA and Meteonorm, photovoltaic modules database, inverters database, quantitative analysis tools, and so on; has the ability to import meteo data; accepts personal data from many different sources (including meteorological data); allows to search for locations directly using Google Maps; can define the locations of all modules of the system in the 3D fields; can calculate the input circuit of each inverter, and more.
// Key Features //
System Design Board |
The system design is based on a quick and simple procedure:
and PVsyst will propose an array/system configuration, that allows you to conduct a preliminary simulation. The software embeds a color-coded warning / errors messaging system. If there’s a mismatch, issue, warning with your design, you will be warned within the proper frame. |
System sizing: Visual tool |
A specific tool gathers all constraints for the sizing of the system :
For the number of modules in a series: the upper diagram shows the I/V curve of the PV array, together with the MPPT range, voltage, power, and current limits of the inverter.

Grid Storage |
Storage in a grid system is a complex feature, as it may have different objectives, which lead to different strategies and different PV system configurations. Up to now, we have developed 3 strategies in PVsyst:
In each case the energy fluxes are different and lead to different simulation results. As an example we show the energies involved in a self-consumption PV system. |
