    This document provides instructions for using key features in the PVSYST 6 software to model and optimize a photovoltaic system design. It outlines the mandatory and optional sections to include, describes how to enter location details like coordinates or address and technical details like module and inverter specifications. Step-by-step instructions are given for using the interactive map feature to import meteorological data and optimize the system orientation to minimize shading losses below 1.40%. Guidelines are also provided for modeling DC and AC circuit losses between 1.10-1.30% and 0.50-0.80%, respectively, and ensuring voltage drop is below 2.1%.

    installation and efficiency ,No of mppt , make ,% loading on inverter (oversized or under size )

    Go to DC circuit: ohmic losses for the array > click on loss fraction at STC > Enter the value in between 1.10% -1.30%
    (these losses computed considering ohmic losses of array to String combiner box and String combiner boxes to Inverter)
    These loses occur due to resistance of DC wire in the Module strings to String combiner box/String Monitoring box and
    string combiner box to Inverter DC input.

    Go to AC circuit: Inverter to injection point> click on loss fraction at STC > Enter the value in between 0.50% -0.80%
    (these losses occur at Inverter output to Point of injection of energy in to the grid (switch yard). The losses include Ohmic loss in
    Inverter output to LT panel ,LT panel , HT panel .)

    *Transmission line losses are not included on this because it depends upon the point of injection /Joint metering panel as per PPA
    & respective state regulations.
    The voltage drop should be below 2.1%
