PVSyst as software is magnificent in predicting the generation of a system. in the past Photon.info was a very reliable source to update the components data. for the time being they are not operating and this means most of the new technology components need to be added manually which increases the the possibility or human error.

PVSyst doesn't provide any details for after the inverters side. unlike other software PVSyst doesn't provide single line diagram and all the details that comes with it.

Sometimes , the simulated results doesnt make sense according to reality , but generally a very good software to use & rely on .

It doesn't account for any thermal losses or optical shading.

The system design is based on simple procedures: -Specify the desired power or avaibablw area -Choose the PV module from the datavase -Choose the inverter from the internal database,andPVsystem will propose any array/system configuration,that allows you to conduct a preliminary simulation.
