System requirements

Supported operating systems

Currently PV*SOL® requires Microsoft Windows 8.1 (with the latest service packs) or Windows 10. Like any program, PV*SOL® at execution time requires resources such as processor, memory and disk space to store temporary files.

To use PV*SOL® premium an additional DirectX compatible graphics card is required. Most modern computers of recent years meet these requirements.

Internet connection

The program checks your proxy Windows system settings and uses them to establish an Internet connection to the Valentin Software server. If available, the company proxy is used.

If the program is still unable to establish an Internet connection, the message No connection to the Internet is displayed. In such cases it is best if your network administrator contacts us.

PV*SOL® requires a connection to the following URL to use the online databases: https://db-api-v2.pvsol.de/.

Regional settings: Currency, numbers, time and date

The program uses the formats for currency, numbers, time and date defined under Windows in the regional settings of the control panel. These formats also appear in the printouts. Make sure that the thousands and decimal separators are different.
