Plans and Parts list

All technical drawings and plans are displayed on the plans page. PV*SOL® can create the following plans:

• Schematic circuit diagram
• Dimension plan (only for 3D design )
• String diagram (only for 3D design)
• Parts list

The plans can be adapted via the menu item Options and exported to different formats via Export. Different export formats are available for the export depending on the plan.

Plan-dependent overview of export formats

Schematic circuit diagram

The circuit diagram is a representation of your PV system with standardized circuit symbols. The following options can be set in the menu item Options:

• Legend
  Display of the circuit symbols used and more detailed product information. The legend can be anchored at different positions in the plan.
• Drawing frame
  A drawing frame according to EN ISO 5457 is spanned around the circuit diagram and a title block according to EN ISO 7200 is created. The title block is filled with the project data.
• Plan Properties
  In the Plan Properties dialog the page format and the alignment of the schematic can be adjusted. In addition, the scaling and color of the schematic can be changed.
  • Scaling options
    
    • Adapt to page format
      The display size of the schematic is adapted to the available drawing area.
    • None
      The display size of the schematic remains unchanged. If the size of the circuit diagram exceeds the drawing area, the diagram is reduced in size.
  • Colour options
    
    • Circuit diagram
      You can choose Background coloured and Cables coloured. Multiple selection is also possible.
    • Legend
      Here you can change the color of the legend.

Dimension plan

When closing the 3D visualization, dimension plans are automatically generated for all occupancy areas on which PV modules are located. Here it is sufficient if an allocation surface was interconnected. The floor plans of the occupancy objects and lock objects are displayed in black and the PV modules in blue on the dimension plan. For mounted systems, the module rows are also displayed. The following dimensions are also displayed in the plan:

Roof-parallel system:

• Dimensions of roof edges
• Distance of the first module formation to the left and lower roof edge
• The dimensions (width x length) of a module
• The horizontal and vertical module spacings

Mounted system:

• Row spacing
• Alignment to the occupancy area using the example of a module row

The following options can be set in the menu item Options:

• Dimensions
  Showing and hiding dimensions
• Black/White
  Black and white display of the dimensioning plan

String diagram

When the 3D visualization is closed, string plans are automatically generated for all occupancy areas on which connected PV modules are located. The floor plans of the occupancy objects and lock objects are displayed in black and the PV modules in blue on the string diagram. For mounted systems, the module rows are also displayed.

The following options can be set in the menu item Options:

• Caption
  Show and hide module labels
• Black/White
  Black and white display of the string plan

Parts list

A parts list is automatically generated from the individual products used in project planning. An article number can be stored for each of these products.

The article numbers are automatically saved and are available when the same product is used again without having to enter them again. If a product is not to be part of the exported parts list, visibility can be deactivated. The column “Fix” determines whether an article should appear in the parts lists of your projects in general. The parts list can be supplemented with articles that are not automatically inserted by PV*SOL®. The finished parts list can be exported to a comma-separated file (CSV) for further use.
