☀️ IST PVSolar Simulator v8.1.0
IST PVSolar Simulator v8.1.0, a major version update for renewable energy design software, it is used to simulate, plan, and optimize photovoltaic power systems, model microclimates, or calculate energy generation based on meteorological data.
Key Features of ☀️ IST PVSolar Simulator v8.1.0
The primary features often included in a Version 8.1 solar simulation environment are:
- Row Spacing Calculator popup: to ensure zero inter-row shadow during the design shading window. For each season (Winter Dec 21, Equinox Mar 20, Summer Jun 21), the calculator sweeps the shading window in 15-minute steps and finds the worst-case (minimum) solar altitude.
- Grid-Connected System Design: Tools to design and estimate energy yield for large-scale, standard grid-tied PV systems
- Meteorological Data Integration: Importing global or local weather files (e.g., typical meteorological year) to model long-term climatic impact.
- Full simulation + 6 result: Monthly charts, Loss cascade, P50/P75/P90/P99, Economics (NPV/LCOE/Payback), CO₂ balance, 25-year projection
- Financial & Economic Analysis: Calculating levelized cost of energy (LCOE), ROI, and system installation profitability.
IST PVSolar Simulator is an advanced solar photovoltaic (PV) system design and simulation software developed to support
engineers, entrepreneurs, students, and renewable energy professionals in designing efficient solar power systems.
The software initiative is associated with the visionary work of Sanjib Kr. Roy, Founder of Institute of Solar Technology,
and IST R&D team members. Institute of Solar Technology IST, a leading renewable energy training and entrepreneurship
development institution in India.
The simulator is designed to simplify complex solar engineering calculations and provide high accuracy design support for
rooftop, C&I and utility-scale solar projects. IST PVSolar Simulator integrates AI based technical design methodologies,
solar resource analysis, system sizing, electrical calculations, and performance estimation tools that help users to generate
real-world solar plant simulation.
IST PVSolar Simulator V8.1.1 is a professional, browser-based PV simulation platform aligned with IEC 61724-1:2021, IEC 61853, BIS IS 16169, CEA Technical Standards 2010 (Amended 2023), and MNRE 2025 guidelines. The simulation engine uses POA transposition, cell temperature (Uc+Uv model), monthly energy, PR, P50/P90 exceedance probability, and LCOE/NPV/IRR financial analysis.
It supports project development in areas such as:
- Solar PV system sizing and simulation
- Rooftop and ground-mounted solar plant design
- Energy yield estimation and performance analysis
- Electrical design calculations
- Solar water pumping system calculations
- ACDB/DCDB engineering design
- Battery and hybrid system analysis

Simulation Results & Analysis: Simulation Engine
The simulator runs a 12-month energy model (monthly resolution approach):
- POA irradiance (H_POA from transposition)
- Effective irradiance: apply IAM correction, soiling factor
- Cell temperature: NOCT model or Uc+Uv model (per Uc, Uv, wind speed)
- E_array: Pnom × H_POA_eff × temperature correction × DC loss chain × bifacial gain
- Clipping: apply ILR-based clipping loss
- E_AC: E_array × η_inverter × (1 − AC_wiring_loss)
- P50/P75/P90/P95: apply Gaussian IAV uncertainty
POA Irradiance is the actual sunlight hitting a solar panel at its specific tilt and orientation. TMY (Typical Meteorological Year) is a synthetic dataset of hourly weather values meant to represent an "average" year over a long historical period To get the most accurate performance estimate for a PV plant, system designers take the raw horizontal GHI data from a TMY file and mathematically transpose it into POA Irradiance using the planned panel angles.
Sanjib Roy has played a significant role in renewable energy skill development, mentoring solar entrepreneurs and engineers through practical training, software-based learning, and entrepreneurship development programs. Industry and institutional profiles describe him as a solar technology mentor and corporate trainer with extensive experience in PV solar system design and business development.
