PVsystCLI

Automate your PVsyst simulations
- Automatically integrate PVsyst simulations into your workflow and optimise your time
- Vary meteorological data
- Execute many simulations in one call with a batch configuration file
- Generate a report in the language of your choice
Conversion of meteorological data
- Import of external data: The primary use case is to import a collection of files from an external source, grouping compatible files in CSV format.
- Performance testing of an existing system: Meteorological data from monitoring can generate MET files, allowing comparison of your simulations with electrical measurements from your photovoltaic system.
- Pseudo-sub-hourly simulation: The pseudo-sub-hourly simulation technique approximates sub-hourly simulations by converting data into minutes and conducting separate simulations for each group.


Define output data parameters
- CSV Output: In accordance with RVT or SFI specifications, PVsystCLI generates a CSV file containing various simulation variables.
- Final Report: It reflects the conventional PVsyst report taking into account customisations configured in the PVsyst project: cover page, sections, variables, tables, units, etc.
Execution of multiple simulations with variable parameters
- Definition of variable parameters: Allows the modification of a set of simulable variables in order to compare and analyze different solutions or scenarios.
- Batch simulation results: In accordance with RVT or SFI specifications, PVsystCLI generates a CSV file containing various simulation variables.
