Software To Show Yearly Output Graph

[FIT-PV]

Is there a software/tool available to show the monthly output of a typical PV System. e.g. Bar chart to show what you can expect to generate from Jan through to December. - Free software would be good but open to suggestions.

Any other ones?

Use pvgis to get estimated monthly figures for given location, array size. Copy & paste them into excel and use it's graph facility?

For example:

Solar radiation database used: PVGIS-CMSAF Nominal power of the PV system: 3.8 kW (crystalline silicon) Estimated losses due to temperature: 7.5% (using local ambient temperature) Estimated loss due to angular reflectance effects: 2.9% Other losses (cables, inverter etc.): 8.0% Combined PV system losses: 17.3%

Fixed system: inclination=35°, orientation=0° Jan 5.05 157 1.48 46.0 Feb 7.28 204 2.17 60.8 Mar 11.30 351 3.45 107 Apr 15.10 452 4.72 142 May 15.90 491 5.12 159 Jun 16.70 501 5.44 163 Jul 15.90 493 5.21 162 Aug 14.50 448 4.73 147 Sep 12.80 385 4.09 123 Oct 8.68 269 2.68 83.2 Nov 6.49 195 1.93 58.0 Dec 4.33 134 1.27 39.3 Yearly average 11.2 340 3.53 107 Total for year 4080 1290
