This video show you how you can to rapidly calculate the bifacial adjustment factors required by PVSyst to deal with the complexities presented by real-world bifacial installations

This video describes the different types of modules that can be simulated in SunSolve-Yield

This video describes the process to load weather from a csv file. The csv file could be generated from a variety of sources such as Meteonorm, Solcast, SolarGIS and NRELs National Solar Radiation Database.

This video walks you through the steps to create and run your first yield simulation

This video describes in more detail the inputs used define a SAT system

There are two types of optical absorption in a semiconductor: band-to-band absorption (which can contribute to light generated current) and free-carrier absorption (which does not contribute to current generation and thus represents a loss mechanism).

This video provides an overview of how to manage custom data sets within SunSolve-Power. Custom data sets can be entered for the refractive index of a material, the reflection and transmission of an interface, the spectrum of incident light, and the collection efficiency of a layer.

This video provides an overview of the changes to SunSolve-Power introduced in version 6.19

This video describes the steps required to add a frame onto a simple module

This is an extended version of the presentation given by Dr Keith McIntosh (PV Lighthouse) at the 2023 PVPMC workshop. It quantifies the difference between advanced and conventional models (such as those used in PVSyst, SAM and PVLib) for 8 physical mechanisms.

The study was presented at the 49th IEEE PVSC in Philadelphia 2022 and covers how module temperature depends on wind speed, wind direction and tilt and how best to model the module temperature.

This video provides an overview of the electrical solving engine, how it links to the optical solver and demonstrates the basics of setting the inputs within the user interface, running a simulation and looking at the output.
