This thread titled "Technical Discussion - PV*SOL Expert 5.5" is posted in the under the Solar PV Forum | Solar Panels Forum on Electricians Forums.
We have Expert 5.5 and have noticed a possible issue. The SMA3600TL won't allow a 4kw system of conventional panels such as the Hyundai or Samsung. The inverter allows 15A per string but the software flags up two strings as an overvoltage condition (approx 16-17A).
It's therefore not allowing us to select this inverter for most 4kw systems and we have to choose a 4000TL instead.
Does anyone else get this? Can this be changed?
Well spotted. You can actually change this in the database on PV Sol yourself easily enough but it would be an idea if the developers altered the database to suit.
It sounds to me that MAX current has been input incorrectly.
OK thanks, not just me then, i'll email them.
I have emailed, not been resolved yet. Apparently SMA are responsible for uploading their data?
A real-world representation of the shading from surrounding objects is extremely important for precisely calculating yields. You’re therefore looking for a program which takes shading into account as analytically as possible? PV*SOL® Expert does just that! You can visualize all roof-integrated or mounted systems - even on the ground - with up to 2,000 modules in 3D and calculate shading on the basis of 3D objects.

Is anyone else finding that version 5.5 is giving much lower predicted yields when compared to older versions?
