What is PVSyst?

PVSyst for solar design is a downloadable software that is used to estimate and optimize the power output of a solar power plant. PVSyst is an industry standard solar PV design tool. As a software, it allows the user to simulate the energy output, detailed losses, analyze near shadings, carry out financial analysis, probability reports, horizon profile and generate many more outputs that help solar designers in understanding the overall performance of a solar power plant.

Solar Designers that use PVSyst can simulate the potential performance of a power plant, after specifying information such as the location, meteo data, components to be used, arrangement, budgets and so on.

The main results to be derived from PVSyst reports are the total energy production, performance ratio, specific energy and the gains/losses involved in the simulation. The final report produced from a PVSyst simulation plays a key role in the proposal to be submitted to potential clients and investors in order to understand the bankability of the solar PV project.

PVSyst as a solar design software is extremely feature-loaded and complex. In order to deliver the training effectively, Reo has created two separate curriculums – Solar PV Plant Design and Energy Estimation with PVSyst and Advanced Understanding and Utility Scale Applications of PVSyst.

In this advanced online solar energy training program on how to use PVSyst, you learn advanced features required to simulate complex projects of 50kWp – 30MWp.

About Advanced PVSyst and Program Eligibility

The syllabus of this training program has been designed exclusively by Reo for solar professionals with an existing knowledge of PVSyst. This training program discusses solar design case studies from the start. Complex solar plants, advanced features and finer details of designing a utility scale grid connected solar project have been discussed in this training program.

To cope up with this solar design training program:

You must be a working professional in the solar industry or pursuing your Masters/PhD.
You must have an understanding of the essential functions of PVSyst i.e. losses, shadow analysis and analysing a report.
You must be capable of independently using PVSyst and simulating a plant.
Completing our online program on ‘Solar PV Design with PVSyst’ would be preferable.
Students pursuing their UG may contact the Support Team to understand their eligibility.

If you are new to PVSyst, we would recommend our Solar PV Design and Energy Estimation with PVSyst training program to you.

Pre-made/Self-paced/Recorded Videos: Yes

Live/Webinar Classes: There are no Live classes/webinars associated with this course because regular high quality Live classes can only be hosted when there are enough high quality instructors. The solar industry is extremely young and availability of skilled and knowledgeable professionals is not yet mainstream. You would have to significantly compromise on the quality of the instructor if you were to rely on Live/webinar based training as less-experienced instructors are more frequently available to host webinars.

We have taken our time to work with some of the most experienced professionals in the space, and packaged their years of experience into these state-of-the-art online courses.

You will have online access to the videos and the instructor for a period of 3 months. After completion of the 3 month period, you may make a request with the Reo Support Team to share access to the course videos for 7 days, for the purpose of revision. This request can only be made once. The course videos are not downloadable.

Every course at Reo is created in collaboration with highly experienced professionals who are actively working in the solar industry. It would neither be fair nor possible for us to offer the students a lifetime access to their expertise, at this fee, in order to respect the time and availability of our instructors.

We have designed 4 different ways through which your performance will be monitored throughout this program.

The following will not be counted towards your final Certification:

2 sets of short progress tests.
Practice case studies.

The following will be counted towards your final Certification:

1 online test [Pass mark required: 60%. Retakes allowed.]
1 PVSyst design case study [Pass mark required: 70%. Retakes allowed.]

A Certificate of Completion from Reo will be awarded to the students upon successfully clear these assessments.
