Advanced Performance Calculations
Unlimited solar production simulations take into account specific component losses, including losses due to temperature, angle of incidence, and wiring losses, providing a detailed technical evaluation of the performance of each photovoltaic system. PVGIS 5.2 uses a default value of 14% for overall losses over 20 years of operation, with an average annual variability of 3%.
PVGIS24 refines this approach by simulating solar production for the first year and forecasting the evolution over a 20-year period. The software takes into account the average annual degradation of photovoltaic panels at 0.5%, maintenance costs, and seasonal variations. These simulations provide a realistic long-term view of system performance, essential for accurate financial analyses.
The results of these estimations enable advanced financial calculations such as the IRR (Internal Rate of Return) and ROI (Return on Investment). Through seamless integration with the financial simulator PVGIS24 Calc, the technical data generated by PVGIS24 are directly transferable, facilitating a comprehensive assessment of the project's profitability in just a few clicks. This synergy between technical simulation and financial calculation allows professionals to optimize their investment decisions and present clear and compelling reports to clients.
