This article describes the configuration of a Photovoltaic installation on the Climkit Platform.

For planning the electrical connection, refer to the links at the end of the article.

Registration of a Photovoltaic installation

The parameters of the photovoltaic installation(s) on the Site allow for monitoring their performance during the Operational phase and comparing the daily production potential with the actual measured production.

  1. Under Site > Settings > Equipment: check Solar PV
  2. Under Equipment > Other equipment > Solar PV: Click the (+) button to add a PV installation and fill in the following fields:
    1. Name (location): Name of the installation or its location, for example Building A roof.
    2. DC Power (kWp): Total DC power in kWp, which is the number of photovoltaic modules multiplied by their nominal power.
    3. Max AC Power (kVA): maximum AC power of the inverter. If the inverter is limited, enter the limited value.
    4. Production meter: select the Meter to which the PV inverter is connected.
    5. Inclination (between 0° and 90°): Enter the average inclination of the panel field, where 90° corresponds to vertical.
    6. North Orientation (180° = South): enter the average orientation of the panel field, where 0° corresponds to due north. In the case of two fields (east and west), enter the average of the two orientations.
  3. Repeat step 2 above for each of the PV installations connected behind a dedicated Production meter.
