FOCUSED LIVE WORKSHOP
PVsyst from Project Setup to Professional Simulation Report
A practical 3-day workshop for learners who want to understand how PVsyst is used in a professional PV design workflow.
3 days • Live online • Practical workflow
What you will learn
Day 1 — Project & system definition
- Create a project and work with geographical location and weather data.
- Create and manage simulation variants.
- Define plane orientation.
- Define system properties and component selections.
- Understand PV array design, modules in series/parallel and inverter selection.
- Run the consistency checks before simulation.
Day 2 — Shading & detailed losses
- Understand far shading versus near shading.
- Understand 3D scene construction for nearby objects.
- Review horizon and near-shading workflows.
- Understand beam, diffuse and albedo shading treatment.
- Work through IAM, soiling, irradiance, thermal, module quality, mismatch, degradation, wiring, transformer, auxiliary and unavailability losses.
- Understand electrical shading and Module Layout concepts.
Day 3 — Simulation & results
- Run the simulation and review the Results window.
- Interpret monthly and detailed time-step results.
- Read the loss diagram and identify major loss contributors.
- Review yield, normalized indicators and performance ratio.
- Compare variants and document design decisions.
- Understand how the simulation report is structured for project documentation.
These learning points are grounded in PVsyst's official documentation for project design, simulation, shading, losses and results. The official documentation describes the project/variant workflow, orientation, system definition, detailed losses, near/far shading, simulation and reporting.
