What are pvgis solar panels made of?

By default, PVGIS provides solar panels made up of crystalline silicon cells. These solar panels correspond to the majority of rooftop-installed solar panel technology. PVGIS does not differentiate between polycrystalline and monocrystalline cells.

What if the marker does not correspond to my solar production address?

Provide the following information If the marker does not correspond to your solar production address, use an area approach, using the + and - on the map to geographically define your GPS point. O (Opacity) modifies the opacity of the map and the visualization of solar irradiance through a color gradient defined in L (Legend).

What kilowatt-peak (kWp) should a pvgis value be?

The peak power should be entered in kilowatt-peak (kWp). PVGIS provides a default value of 14% for overall losses in the solar electricity production system. If you have a good idea that your value will be different (perhaps due to a highly efficient inverter), you can slightly reduce this value.

How does pvgis work?

The essence of PVGIS is the calculation of the production of your photovoltaic system based on your geographic location and installation information. Nevertheless, you have the option to calculate, based on the electricity production estimate, the cost of photovoltaic electricity per kWh.

How does pvgis calculate shadows?

PVGIS can calculate the effect of this by using data on ground elevation with a resolution of 3 arc-seconds (approximately 90 meters). This calculation does not take into account shadows from very close objects such as houses or trees.

What is ppvgis database?

PPVGIS offers four different databases on solar radiation with hourly resolution. Currently, there are three satellite-based databases: PVGIS-SARAH2 (0.05º x 0.05º): Produced by CM SAF to replace SARAH-1 (PVGIS-SARAH). It covers Europe, Africa, most of Asia, and some parts of South America. Time range: 2005-2020.
