PV*SOL premium is a dynamic simulation program with 3D visualization and detailed shading analysis for designing photovoltaic systems. Whether full or surplus feed-in, whether in combination with electrical appliances, battery systems and electric vehicles, or together with a heat pump or heating element: PV*SOL premium can be used to design and simulate and plan the PV energy installation.

The 2024 version of PV*SOL premium introduces new battery options. When designing grid-connected battery systems, it is now possible to define any number of battery systems, create groups and parameterize them independently of each other. DC-coupled battery systems can now also be freely assigned to the respective PV inverter. Time-controlled charging and discharging can also be specifically set for each group of battery systems.

Last but not least, there are have been updates in the load profiles. Based on the VDI 4655 guideline by the Association of German Engineers, three high-resolution load profiles are now integrated into the PV*SOL database: single-family home, multi-family home and low-energy building. With these 45 load profiles, systems can be designed easily and adapted precisely to customer requirements. The Meteonorm 8.2 updates also allow PV design with the latest climate data for almost every location in the world. (mfo)
