Fixed errors:
- Fixed bug in 3D shading tool.
In version 6.28 (22.09.2014)
Fixed errors:
- Fixed bug in electrical loss.
In version 6.27 (19.09.2014)
Novelties:
- Carbon balance (CO2): evaluation tool and new page on the report.
- Management of Tigo optimizers, including definition, operating and shadings
- Inverters: temperature dependency of the nominal power (Pmax use, and high temperatures derate), specification of the Power Facor capability
Improvements:
- Auxiliary losses now explicitely specified.
- Component dialogs, 1st page: info availability an original database/custom.
- Big systems shading studies:* Improved calculation time of some verifications* Possibility of desabling the mutual interpenetration of fields (Helios3D)* Execution of some tests upon command instead of automatic* Helios3D: improved orientation analysis and tests.* Many objects: choice of selected object improved
- AC Losses after the inverter: take the Power Factor into account
- Improved the model of Shading Electrical loss: was enabled as soon as linear shading was present; now with a threshold (partial cell sheding).
- Batch simulations: still some updates.
Fixed errors:
- Synthetic generation: sometimes wind data (according to Meteonorm) were added.
- Master/Slave operation: error when the Vmppmin was reached.
- Littles errors (fonts) fixed in the report.

In version 6.26 (31.07.2014)
Novelties:

- Management of Tigo optimizers, including definition, operating and shadings
- Inverters: temperature dependency of the nominal power (Pmax use, and high temperatures derate), specification of the Power Facor capability
- PV module Rserie default value: according to 200 W/m2 relative efficiency (-3%).
- * Effect: only concerns modules for which the Rserie has not been specified. Low-light behaviour very close to modules with Manuf. specified Rserie
- PV module temperature behaviour
- * Up to now: the specified muPmpp value was the derivative at 25°C.
- * muPmpp calculated at 25 and 45°C: improves matching with the linear behaviour reported by measurements at oper. temperatures.
- * Effect: slightly decreases the temperature loss.
Improvements:
- Batch mode, significantly improved:
- * easier file management (re-use of old files), several new parameters;
- * Possibility of specifying a list of VCi (i.e. resimulate a whole project).
- Resistivity default values revised (effect: slight decrease of Wiring loss).
Fixed errors:
- Helios3D management: error in verifications of orientations (spread) fixed. This sometimes prevented using old Helios3D scenes.
- Hay model: when the sun is behind the plane, the beam component doesn’t contribute to albedo (negligible effect with usual systems).
- Big shading systems: optimized a time-consuming verification.
In version 6.25 (16.06.2014)
Novelties:
- Main improvement about ModuleLayout management:
- All tables shown on a single plane – possibility of moving them
- Working table directly selectable on the 3D view
- Possible saving as an image (BMP, JPG, or PNG: transparent)
- Print of the whole ModuleLayout definition
- Several Improvements/Optimizations inthe dialog and elaboration
- Export of results in the Report preview: Loss diagram also exportable
Improvements:
- Rewrote the batch mode, improvements
- Big shading scenes: general dialog speed optimizations
Fixed errors:
- Optimization of shading factor calculation was not activeted by default
In version 6.24 (21.05.2014)
Novelties:
- Report preview: new possibility of modifying units and language.
- Report preview: possibility of “Copying” the chosen results in the clipboard for analysis and versions comparisons in EXCEL.
Fixed errors:
- Error in Batch mode, when redefining the number of inverters.
- Printer choice: always takes the Default printer: fixed.
- Many bugs fixes after implementing the tool for reporting runtime errors.
In version 6.23 (01.05.2014)
Fixed errors:
-
Mixed-orientation systems: sometimes error in the simulation => Inverter loss may be underevaluated by around -0.3%..
-
Tracking 1-axis with not south-axis: some incoherences and modif. impossibilities in the definition dialog (not affecting simulation results).
-
Prevent opening the software twice simultaneously, which may produce some conflicts.
-
Grid Input/Output plots: showed variable E_Avail instead of E_Grid.
-
Several minor dialog and display errors or improvements.
-
Database update.
