About PVsyst
PVsyst is designed to be used by architects, engineers, and researchers. It is also a very useful educative tool. It includes a detailed contextual Help menu that explains the procedures and models that are used, and offers a user-friendly approach with a guide to develop a project. PVsyst is able to import meteo data, as well as personal data from many different sources. For the inverter sizing: the second graph displays the annual distribution of the array power, with the array and inverter nominal power. Storage in a grid system is a complex feature, as it may have different objectives, which lead to different strategies and different PV system configurations.
