Evolving Technical Features of PVGIS24

Precise Modeling via GPS Geolocation

Precise Modeling via GPS Geolocation

Using advanced Google Map geolocation, PVGIS24accurately identifies the GPS point of the installation. This approach enhances the accuracy of unlimited solar yield simulations by considering site-specific conditions such as altitude, shading, and solar angle.

Multi-Orientation and Multi-Inclination Simulation

PVGIS24has extended its simulation capabilities, now allowing yield calculations for systems with up to three or four sections, each with different orientations and tilts. This advanced feature accounts for every possible angle and orientation, making simulations even more precise for complex configurations.

With PVGIS24, users can simulate installations with two, three, or even four distinct tilts and orientationson a single site, a solution particularly suited for flat roofs and East-West or North-South triangle installations. This optimized calculation enables optimal solar irradiation capture, thereby maximizing the energy production potential of each panel.

Integrated Climatic Database

PVGIS24 integrates an up-to-date meteorological database to provide production forecasts based on real solar radiation data. This precision is crucial for evaluating long-term energy production potential.

PVGIS24 offers four different solar radiation databases with hourly measurements. The tool automatically selects the most suitable database for your geographic location to further enhance the accuracy of unlimited solar yield simulations.

Using Terrain Shadows

Geographic Site Shadows: PVGIS24automatically integrates shadows caused by nearby hills or mountains that may block sunlight during certain hours. This calculation excludes shadows from nearby objects such as houses or trees, providing a more relevant representation of local conditions.

Modular Approach for Complex Projects

PVGIS24allows for unlimited adjustments of solar yield simulation parameters according to project specifications, such as panel inclination, multiple orientations, or differentiated yield scenarios. This offers unmatched flexibility for engineers and designers.

PV Technology

Over the last two decades, many photovoltaic technologies have become less prominent. PVGIS24 prioritizes crystalline silicon panels by default, which are predominantly used in residential and commercial rooftop installations.

Simulation Output

PVGIS24enhances results visualization by instantly displaying monthly production in kWh as bar charts and percentages in a summary table, making data interpretation more intuitive.

CSV, JSON Export

Some data options deemed less relevant for unlimited solar yield simulations have been removed in PVGIS24to simplify the user experience.

Visualization and Technical Data Reporting

Results are presented as detailed technical graphs and tables, facilitating the analysis of photovoltaic system performance. The data can be used for ROI calculations, financial analyses, and scenario comparisons.
