Valentin has streamlined the project wizards in this release. Setting up a 3D design with shading analysis is noticeably smoother. Key UI improvements include:
PV*SOL premium is a market-leading software solution developed by Valentin Software GmbH for the simulation, design, and calculation of photovoltaic (PV) systems. The 2019 Release 10 (R10) version represents a significant milestone in the software's evolution, bridging the gap between basic string design and complex 3D shading analysis.
This version was specifically tailored to meet the growing demands of solar installers, system integrators, and engineers who required high-precision yield calculations and professional visualization for customer proposals.
For international users, this release adds high-resolution weather data for several new regions, particularly in Southeast Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe. If your business is expanding globally, R10 helps ensure your simulations are locally relevant.
PV*Sol Premium 2019 R10 is a Windows-based PV system design and simulation software by Valentin Software tailored for detailed modeling of grid-connected and hybrid photovoltaic (PV) systems. It combines 3D shading analysis, detailed component databases, yield simulation, economic assessment, and battery storage modeling.
Who used PV*SOL premium 2019 R10?
The software doesn't just calculate DC power; it models real-world thermal losses. It accounts for:
Shading is the number one enemy of solar yield. Version R10 elevated shading analysis by introducing more granular time steps for calculations. Users can import 3D objects from Google SketchUp, CAD files, or use the built-in vector drawing tools to model:
The core differentiator of the "Premium" version over the standard "Expert" version is its 3D capabilities. In the 2019 R10 update, the 3D editor was refined to allow users to create highly detailed environments:
