Site Visualization/modification

Once you have selected a site and clicked on Open you can visualize all the site data including:

  • Site name, country and region
  • Latitude, Longitude, Altitude (interactive map available)
  • Time zone
  • Monthly weather data

When modifying a site, PVsyst will ask whether you want to keep your modifications, and if so it will modify or create a new site.

Geographical Coordinate tab

This window displays the site's geographical informational. It also has the additional options to:

  • Plot the Sun paths corresponding to your site
  • Import new weather data (PVsyst will propose to save a site copy with the new data)
  • Print a pdf with the complete site data

Monthly weather tab

This tab displays the monthly weather data. Here you can:

  • Export the site monthly weather data with the Export Table button. Data will be copied to your clipboard
  • You can choose the units in the frame "Irradiation units" on the right (you will find many kinds of units in other data sources).
  • Add or remove some variables from Extra parameters
  • Specify the data source
  • Data can be pasted as column only when creating a new site

Remember that Global irradiance and Temperature are mandatory inputs, others are optional. Temperature and irradiance are used for:

- Fast estimates (sizing), in the design part of the program (Orientation, System).
- Snthetic data generation (from the Meteonorm DLL)
