NSolV8 - NSolV8
NSol! has been the standard for sizing off-grid PV and PV-generator hybrid power systems since 1993 — now NSolV8 is here! Version 8.2.2 now available! Notice: Effective 8 June 2020, NSolV8 has replaced NSolVx. NSolV8 costs US$300 and includes a license for operation on a single computer. This is a one-time cost and not a subscription
About - NSolV8
Grid-Tied PV systems were in their infancy when NSol! was first designed in 1993. Now there are thousands of megawatts of grid—tied systems being designed around the world each year. NSolV8 adds grid-tied system design to its toolkit, creating a tool that can be used to do quick screening analyses.

Does NSol use Clearness in its computation of Array / Load Ratio (ALR)? Yes. Clearness is the ratio between the global horizontal insolation (GHI – from the site tab) and the extra-terrestrial insolation (calculated). It is used in the correlation to split GHI into direct and diffuse irradiance in order to do the tilt calculations.
Latest Update - NSolV8
2022年9月13日 · The latest build of NSolV8 is 8.1.10. This upgrade is free to all NSolV8 registered users. To access the latest version, just download and install the “Update” from the Support page. It will update the program “exe” file only, and will not update any databases, logos or address files. It is always a good idea […]

NSol! software has historically provided both energy balance (array-load-ratio) and statistical performance (LOLP and BSOC) analyses. These have been based on the datasheet ratings of the critical components – PV modules and batteries.

1.2 Why NSol? Designing a PV system can be a complex tasks, whether it is a small off-grid system to power a single load, a hybrid power plant for village electrification, or a large grid-tied array with multiple inverters and active trackers. In any of these scenarios, the first step is to choose components and analyze the
NSolV8 Shading Calculations - NSolV8
2022年9月13日 · To do this in NSol, we would have at add information on physical array layout and shading horizon. Once you know the losses by month, you can enter them into seasonal losses in the factors page. Make sure you upgrade to V8.1.10 (currently the latest) – someone recently pointed out that seasonal losses were not updating properly so I fixed it.
