Overview
The Modules library offers you a centralized view of the component data, improving reusability, and consistency across the projects of your organization. Adding modules to the library ensures the tool uses specific performance data for your exact modules, which is key for precise energy yield predictions.
You can access the Modules library directly from the home page.
Once inside, the corresponding control buttons allow you to perform different actions.
My modules
Click on My modules to see and manage the modules you have already added. You can duplicate, edit or delete any of your modules, as well as search for a specific one by inserting its name in the search bar. Here you can also add new modules individually or as a batch.
Everyone's modules
Switch to Everyone's modules to view the modules added by other members of your team.
You only have viewing access to these modules, which means you should duplicate them before making any edits.
The ability to see and duplicate existing modules allows you to easily compare and adopt configurations from your colleagues without starting from scratch, saving time and ensuring consistency across the organization.
Add new module
To add a new module, just click the Add new module button in the My modules section.
In the pop-up, select one of the two Quick add options:
- Select from library, to reuse one of the existing modules as a draft. This is similar to duplicating a module from the library.
- Upload PAN file, to upload a module configuration already saved in your computer.
In both cases, you will be able to edit the properties of the module using the corresponding fields. By clicking on each field, you will see some useful explanations at the top right corner of the pop-up.
Batch upload
To make the process even quicker, you have the option to upload multiple PAN files simultaneously. The steps are easy and straightforward:
- Click the Batch upload button (right next to the Add new module button).
- Select all the PAN files that you want to upload.
The modules will immediately appear in the My Modules section.
PAN files are small text files that contain PV module performance data. They are created by either the module manufacturer or an independent module testing laboratory and are used by PVsyst simulation software.
