New features 2019 Series - Photovoltaic engineering
Electro Graphics releases the latest 2019 Series of electrical and photovoltaic design software. Here are the most important features and enhancements introduced about photovoltaic engineering in the software Solergo.

Energy analysis of the system at 15 minute intervals with possible use of consumption data provided by distributors on .xls file
Solergo 2019 introduces the possibility to set the accuracy of the analysis calculations of the production of the planned photovoltaic plant, of the consumption of the system and the relative economic evaluation.
By default Solergo calculates electricity flows with hourly accuracy, but now a more detailed calculation can be triggered which analyzes the values at 15-minute intervals.
The energy and economic analysis performed with quarter-hour precision can be more precise in the following conditions:
• presence of electrical loads defined with precision in the quarter of an hour, such as consumption profiles supplied directly by the electric distributors;
• use of small storage systems. In this case, short discharge / charge cycles can be simulated more precisely by this time of analysis.
Like the print reports, the daily chart of the energy analysis with precision in the quarter of an hour shows the trend of the energy produced, absorbed and self-consumed, detailing four values for each hour.
Further development of optimizers for parallel module management
Solergo 2019 allows to check further configurations of connection to power optimizers:
• one optimizer for photovoltaic module;
• one optimizer every two modules in series;
• one optimizer every two modules in parallel (versions with double input for parallel connection of two modules).
In the process of configuring a photovoltaic system with Solergo, it is possible to choose the use of power optimizers in the Components page, after choosing the photovoltaic module. The configurations that meet the electrical checks are proposed in the drop-down list that is activated after selecting the Use power optimizer check box.
Updates according to new standards and connection rules
The nominal power of the system is now considered equal to the maximum active power that can be supplied; so, it is limited by the nominal power of the inverter if it is lower than the sum of the STC power of the modules.
With reference to this, the nominal power and peak power are now specified.
Importing monthly loads profile in the Bi-Time or Tri-Time mode
With the Import monthly / diary load profile function it is possible to set the consumption of each month of a standard year, detailing the components in the bands defined by the tariff applied to the system (Bi-Time or Tri-Time mode).
Calculation of the total weight of the modules
The calculation of the total weight of the modules it is now available on the components sizing results. A special label can be used to report the data also in custom reports.
More details on string junction boxes in the single wire diagram Each line exiting the string junction boxes present in the plant layout is represented by a separate single-line connection.
Automatic insertion of markers for microinverters in plant layout
In case of use of microinverters it is possible to insert the inverter markers automatically, in correspondence to the modules or strings in the layout of the plant.
Special configurations for systems with microinverters In systems with microinverters, cable calculation, device estimation and connection diagram design can be verified by defining the number of inverters to be connected in parallel, rather than deducing the connection situation data present in the layout of the plant.
Bank financing with pre-amortization
In the case of a bank financing, it is possible to set a number of pre-amortization installments included in the duration of the loan. The fixed installments will be calculated over the period of the loan, after deducting the installments of the pre-amortization period.
Sharing of databasse packages
A new feature was created to allow the sharing of technical information of materials between stations or Electro Graphics products of different versions.
The Electro Graphics EGZ database package (file with .egz extension) contains material data and technical data specific to the type of material, which may include electrical data, shapes, images, associated documents.
EGZ packages will be published by Electro Graphics and made available for installation using the new EG Data Exchange tool. An EGZ package can also be exported from your Material database using the Export database package function, available in the materials archive window. And new EGZ packages can be imported directly into your Maerial database using the Import database package function.
Extension and updating of the module and inverter databases
For all the types of devices that can be used in a photovoltaic system, new series have been integrated into the solergo database.
Follows the list of implementations made to the Solergo 2019 archives as an addition of new series, revision and integration of the latest news for those already present in the archive.
