PVsystCLI

In response to the evolving needs of the industry, the newly designed PVsystCLI command line interface facilitates the running of simulations and the conversion of meteorological data files with unprecedented efficiency and flexibility.

Automate your PVsyst simulations

  • Specify a project and a variant to simulate
  • Generate a report in the language of your choice
  • Vary meteorological data
  • Automatically integrate PVsyst simulations into your workflow and optimise your time

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.
