Welcome
SunSim 10 is the simplest, easiest and most intuitive method to esteem the solar radiation collected by a photovoltaic (or thermal) system both stationary and tracking. This new release can make accurate calculations of expected production for PV systems.

Why SunSim 10 is unique of its kind
In order to obtain the necessary characteristics of speed and ease of use, we have chosen to limit as possible the use of the of the keyboard, instead favoring the introduction of data my means the use of the mouse. A plain sliding of the mouse on the solar paths diagram in facts allows to orient the PV module surface, while the configuration setup can be easy selected by means of buttons or drop-down menus.
SunSim 10 includes more than 200 sites, with the possible variants, in Europe, North Africa e Middle East. The user may also create new sites by starting from those proposed, with latitudes that range from Equator to North pole.
The tracking mode on 2 axes has been added a few variants of single-axis tracking, whose comprehension has been made easier by means a simple icon that shows the movements of the PV modules plane.
SunSim is able to take into consideration the various factors that affect the result, first shading, albedo and atmospheric turbidity.
The report files are both .RTF and .CSV type and therefore compatible with the most used word processors (e.g. MS Word) and spreadsheets (e.g. MS Excel.
Differently from the previous vesion, SunSim 10 may now display the daily solar trends for each month. Furthermore, it is now possible to enter the main parameter of a PV system, calculate the Performance Ratio PR e the Yield kWh/kWp. Other interesting improvements concern the optimization of some dialog windows and the possibility to modify the atmospheric turbidity.

SunSim 10 is Ideal for educational use. It gives immediately to the operator the effects of the actions and modification on the used parameters and how these operations affect the results. It is therefore easy and intuitive to learn how a solar plant works in every detail.
SunSim 10 is Ideal for the professianal. It is based on rigorous and precise methods for the calculation of the results but asking to the operator only the introduction of the strictly necessary data. It does not require the attendance of specific courses, nor the knowledge of complicated 3-dimensional CAD and the obtained results are easily readable and understandable.
It allows the quick execution of a large amount of simulations, in order to assess very large plants or even to make comparisons among different solutions without wasting time compiling long video pages.
SunSim 10 doeas not need any installation and can be run from any folder contained in a fixed or movable data storage, simply by double-clicking on the icon of the program. As SunSim 10 has been greatly expanded from previous versions (including the screen resolution), we suggest to download the test version SunSimTest.exe and once that the compatibility is verified, proceed to chechout.
Not all antiviruses allow the download of executable files, therefore a compressed version is also available (SunSimTest.zip), which requires a subsequent extraction of the executable file by means of WinZip o another equivalent software.
SunSimTest is a Demo program that consents only to verify the compatibility of SunSim 10 with the given PC and to have a simple idea of its numerous performances.

SunSim 10 is distributed free with the book FOTOVOLTAICO PER PROFESSIONISTI
