Simulation
What is pvsyst
pvsyst is a photovoltaic simulator developed in Switzerland.
By incorporating the terrain model and panel layout into pvsyst, it is possible to calculate the amount of power generation, loss value, PR value, etc.
Since pvsyst reflects meteorological data such as Meteonorm and performs simulation considering the influence of shadows of surrounding structures and trees, more accurate simulation is possible.
You can also create an English version of the simulation result report.
Pvsyst usage example
We use 3D terrain models and panel layouts to simulate power generation. You can also watch the video to see the effect of the shadow on the panel. In addition, we will submit the simulation report in Japanese.
SolarGIS
Meteorological data provided by SOLARGIS, headquartered in Slovakia. It mainly predicts meteorological data from geostationary satellite observation data. For Japan, measurements from 2007 to 2018 are used.
NEDO MONSOLA-11
This is meteorological data developed by the Japan Weather Association as part of research commissioned by Japan's New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). Meteorological data is calculated from the meteorological data of 837 ground meteorological stations in Japan. Of the 837 stations, 52 measure solar radiation, while the other 785 stations measure only sunshine hours. Meteorological data is measured over 29 years from 1981 to 2009.
NEDO MONSOLA-20
This is the updated weather data for METPV-11 and MONSOLA-11 released on April 13, 2021.
The statistical period has been updated from 2010 to 2018. In addition, by incorporating observation data from Himawari-8, the number of points was improved from the previous maximum of 837 nationwide to a nationwide 1-km mesh.
Orel (Solar Mesh)
Weather data provided by Aryor Co., Ltd., headquartered in Japan. The amount of solar radiation is calculated based on the calculation method of the paper written by Japanese Mr. Kenji Otani in 1994. Hourly weather data with 5 km mesh resolution is created from meteorological data from the meteorological satellite "Himawari" and ground observation data.
JMA: Japan Meteorological Agency
Meteorological data observed by the Japan Meteorological Agency, an external agency of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Weather observations are made by the regional meteorological observation system (AMEDAS) installed in approximately 1,300 locations nationwide, meteorological observatories nationwide, and geostationary meteorological satellites (Himawari), and the observed meteorological data is released to the public. NEDO's MONSOLA-20 and MONSOLA-11 are based on meteorological data observed by the Japan Meteorological Agency.
