Introduction
CYPELEC PV Systems is a program for designing and analysing photovoltaic electrical systems. The program has BIM integration resources and can import architectural models generated in IFC format, and offers a library of elements to define the system properties. CYPELEC PV Systems includes an energy design tool that helps users to calculate the number of PV modules required based on energy consumption and solar irradiation data. The system elements, such as solar panels, inverters and batteries, can be entered and the calculation can be made by considering parameters such as orientation, sloping and shading. The program can also be used to define the single-line diagram of the system, calculate the wiring design, generate bills of quantities and obtain detailed results, such as the energy generated, losses and electrical parameters.
Workflows supported by the program
As CYPELEC PV Systems is an Open BIM tool and is connected to the BIMserver.center platform, it offers its users different workflow options.
- Modelling PV systems directly in CYPELEC PV Systems.
- Importing CAD files in 2D, such as DWG, DXF, PDF and JPG, to be used as a reference in the layout of the PV system.
- Importing architectural models developed in BIM via the IFC standard, created with CYPE Architecture, IFC Builder or CYPECAD MEP. These three programs have native connection options with the BIMserver.center platform.
- Importing architectural models developed in BIM, via the IFC standard, created with Autodesk Revit. Both the uploading of the model to the BIMserver.center platform and the downloading of information from the platform to Autodesk Revit is carried out via the Open BIM - Revit Plugin.
- Importing architectural models developed in BIM via the IFC standard from other architectural modelling programs, such as Archicad or Allplan, among others. The model is uploaded to the BIMserver.center platform using the IFC Uploader application.
Work environment
The work environment in CYPELEC PV Systems is similar to that of other CYPE modelling programs.
The top toolbar contains the main tools for creating project libraries, modelling and entering the main elements of the system, managing groups and connecting to the BIMserver.center platform.
The model viewing area can be found on the right-hand side of the interface and allows the system to be modelled and all the elements of the project to be viewed in 3D, including both the models entered in the program and the models read from other applications.
The left-hand side contains the main tools for defining the views of the system and managing the visibility of both elements read and own elements.
Element library
Before starting to design the system, the application has an element library users you can define the properties of the units that are going to be used. These libraries are oriented towards the integration of elements from manufacturers.
The library includes the following:
- solar panels;
- inspection boxes
- junction boxes;
- distribution panels;
- regulators;
- inverters;
- hybrid inverters;
- monoblock batteries;
- modular batteries.
Managing element catalogues
Within the "Photovoltaic system" tab, from the "Catalogues" option in the "Project" group of the main toolbar, the model element catalogues can be managed:
Manufacturers' catalogues
The manufacturer catalogues available in the project can be managed in the top part of the dialogue box. The information can be downloaded, updated or deleted in each of these.
- Manufacturer
Manufacturer reference. - Download
Downloads the selected manufacturer's catalogue. The products in the catalogue will be available in the project. - Update
Updates the selected manufacturer's catalogue to the latest version, deleting the version downloaded in the project. - Delete
Deletes the selected manufacturer's catalogue. The products in the catalogue will no longer be available in the project.
Connection to the Open BIM Database
In the lower part of the dialogue box, the program allows users to log in with their Open BIM Database account and password.
Setting the general options
Within the "Photovoltaic installation" tab, in the “Project” group of the main toolbar, the “General options” of the project can be managed.
These are as follows:
- Analysis and drawing options
- References
- General parameters
- Material and equipment
- Cables
References
Allows users to set the reference texts for the following types of system elements:
- Solar panel
- Inverter
- Hybrid inverter
- Regulator
- Monoblock battery
- Modular battery
- Junction box
- Inspection box
- Distribution panel
- Conduit
- Grid connection point
General parameters
Allows the following general design parameters to be set:
- Maximum allowable voltage drop in the photovoltaic generator (DC) (%)
- Maximum allowable voltage drop between the inverter and the network connection point (AC) (%)
- Orientation of the project with respect to the North (º)
- Design current as a function of the maximum current of the generator (%)
- Minimum power of the inverter with respect to the installed power (%)
- Minimum autonomy of the installation (days)
- Maximum loss due to orientation and slope
- Inclined plane (%)
- Horizontal plane (%)

Cables
Allows users to set up the available cable families:
- Standard (IEC / ANSI)
- Sections
Cables can be defined according to the IEC standard in mm2, or according to the ANSI standard in American Wire Gauge (AWG).
Calculation conditions
The "Design conditions" option is used to enter the basic parameters of the system, the location and the irradiance or irradiation values (depending on whether the user wants to work with hourly or total values) in the horizontal plane. Furthermore, consumption values can be entered, if available.
Based on the geometrical configuration of the entered PV modules, the program analyses the orientation and slope losses. Losses due to shading are obtained based on the shadows cast by the architectural elements of the linked project, the solar panels themselves, nearby buildings and other obstacles in the surroundings.
Energy pre-design
Before starting to enter the elements, the program has an integrated tool to estimate the number of photovoltaic modules needed for future installation. This is a pre-design that requires the following data to be provided:
- The estimated or actual electricity consumption, obtained from the data provided by the energy supplier.
- The irradiation data of the site and the orientation and slope of the PV panels. Irradiation data can be provided by various sources, such as PVGIS (Photovoltaic Geographical Information System).
Entering the above data allows you to select the type of system. The following combinations can be selected:
- Off-grid system with monoblock batteries.
- Off-grid system with modular batteries.
- On-grid system without storage.
- On-grid system with storage and autonomy.
- On-grid system with surplus storage.
Entering solar panels and rows of panels
Within the "Photovoltaic installation" tab, in the main toolbar in the "Enter elements" group, there are options for entering solar panels and rows of solar panels:
Solar panel
Allows users to enter solar panels individually.
When entering each solar panel, the program requires the following characteristics to be defined:
- Reference
Reference of the solar panel. - Manufacturer / Reference
Reference of the manufacturer and the model of the solar panel used. The program allows the import of library data using the wizard available on the right. - String
Reference of the string to which the solar panel is connected, along with other solar panels, in a row. - Installation
Allows users to define the characteristics of the solar panel installation.- Layout
- Vertical
- Horizontal
- Type of installation
The program considers four cases to determine the installation conditions of the panels:- Inclined plane
The modules are placed on an inclined surface, using brackets to arrange them in a specific orientation and inclination. - Horizontal plane
The modules are placed on a horizontal surface, using brackets to arrange them in a specific orientation and inclination. - Overlay
The modules are placed on top of each other and parallel to the building envelope. A horizontal layout is not acceptable in this case, to favour the self-cleaning of the modules. - Architectural integration
The modules replace conventional building elements or are constituent elements of the architectural composition, thus fulfilling a dual energetic and architectural function.
An essential rule to follow to achieve overlapping or architectural integration of solar installations is to maintain the alignment with the main axes of the building as far as possible. - Orientation with respect to the South (α) and slope (β) (º)
This allows the panel to be positioned by entering its orientation and tilt angles. This data is recalculated if the panels are rotated. - Shade factor
Allows the shadow factor of the panel to be consulted or edited directly. This value is updated during the analysis according to the shadows calculated by the program. The “Loss due to shading” option is deactivated if this value is locked. - Loss due to shading
Allows users to view or edit the shading profile of the panel by means of a cylindrical solar chart. - Loss due to orientation and inclination
This allows user to view the loss due to orientation and inclination by means of the solar gain diagram.
- Inclined plane
- Layout
Solar panel library
In the "Element library" option, in the "Project" group, users can create and edit the libraries of available solar panel types.
The data associated with each type of solar panel is as follows:
- Reference
- Dimensions (Width x Height x Thickness) (mm)
- Nominal power (W)
- Nominal operating temperature of the module (TONC) (ºC)
- Power correction coefficient due to temperature (g) (%/ºC)
- Short circuit voltage (Isc) (A)
- Open circuit voltage (Voc) (V)
- Maximum current at power peak (Impp) (A)
- Maximum voltage at power peak (Vmpp) (V)
- Efficiency (%)
Row of panels
Enters a row of solar panels.
Users can choose between the following methods of entering rows of solar panels:
- Enter solar panels between two points
Select two points on the model and enter as many solar panels as possible between them. - Enter solar panels in one direction
Select a point on the model and enter the “Number of solar panels” indicated in the selected address.
The properties of the solar panels in the row also need to be defined:
- Reverse the direction of the solar panels (optional)
This option allows the solar panels to be placed to the right of the line entered, instead of to the left by default. - Manufacturer / Reference
The reference of the manufacturer and the model of the solar panel used. The program allows data to be imported from the library using the wizard on the right-hand side. - Installation
Defines the installation characteristics of the solar panels in the row.- Layout
- Vertical
- Horizontal
- Type of installation
The program considers the following case to determine the installation conditions of the panels:- Horizontal plane
The modules are placed horizontally, using brackets to arrange them in a specific orientation and inclination.
- Horizontal plane
- Slope (β) (º)
Allows the inclination of the panels in the row to be entered.
- Layout
Loss due to shading
Each solar panel's losses due to shading are obtained based on its shading profile, which is formed by the shadows cast by the architectural elements of the linked model, the solar panels themselves, nearby buildings and other obstacles in the environment.
Using the “Loss due to shading” option in the editing window of each panel, an associated shading profile can be consulted or edited:
- Shading polygons
At the top of the panel, users can consult or manually enter the polygons forming the shading diagram using the following tables:- Superior (Solar azimuth 1 (º), Elevation 1(º), Solar azimuth 2 (º), Elevation 2 (º)
Enters shading diagrams starting from the vertical line (90° elevation). - Inferior (Solar azimuth 1 (º), Elevation 1(º), Solar azimuth 2 (º), Elevation 2 (º)
Enters shading diagrams starting from the horizontal line (0° elevation).- Creating a polygon using the simplified option
This option opens an assistant that allows users to generate a shading polygon by entering only the element's orientation (south, east, northeast, northwest, southeast or southwest) and the distance and height data of the obstacle's mid and end points (d, d1, d2 and h). The points of the resulting shading polygon are shown at the bottom.
- Creating a polygon using the simplified option
- Superior (Solar azimuth 1 (º), Elevation 1(º), Solar azimuth 2 (º), Elevation 2 (º)
- Shading diagram
This area displays the cylindrical solar chart, which indicates the position of the sun for each date and time of the year by solar azimuth and elevation, together with the defined or calculated shading diagram. - Keep the shading diagram during the analysis (optional)
If the obstacles are not entered and the shading diagram is entered manually, this next option must be checked so that the shading diagram entered is preserved and not calculated.
The worst shading factor of all panels in each branch can also be considered for all panels.
Loss due to orientation or inclination
The orientation and inclination losses are calculated according to the geometrical configuration of the PV modules entered and can be consulted using the “Loss due to orientation or inclination” option in the editing window of each panel.
This provides a diagram of the solar demand capacity ratio depending on the orientation with respect to the south (α) and the slope (β) of the panel.
The minimum and maximum slopes (βmin, βmax) that allow more than a 90% demand (with orientation and inclination losses equal to or less than 10%) for the selected south orientation, including the latitude correction, are also shown, and the panel inclination is checked to ensure that it falls within this range.
