Projects and PV components
A project (design project) involves several files, which should be placed in a well-defined directory structure. Files are described in more depth here.
Projects directory (Projects/)
| File | Description |
ProjectName.PRJ | The project itself |
ProjectName.VCi | Simulation variants |
ProjectName.Cmi | Comparison variants |
Weather data directory (Meteo/)
| File extension | Description |
.MET | The hourly weather data files associated to the projects |
Measured data directory (Datameas/)
| File extension | Description |
.DAM | Eventually if comparisons with measured data |
User-defined components (ComposPV/)
| Folder | Components, only those modified or added by the user |
/ComposPV/PVModules | PVModule.PAN |
/ComposPV/Inverters | Inverter.OND |
/ComposPV/Batteries | Battery.BTR |
/ComposPV/Regulators | Regulator.RLT |
/ComposPV/Pumps | Pump.PMP |
/ComposPV/RegulPmp | PumpRegulator.RLP |
Note: Preliminary design projects are made of one file only, with extension .PSG (grid) or .PSS (stand-alone).
Projects and components can be imported from external files or exported to external files.
