Version 8.0.14$$$ Download - Published on July 17; 2025$$$$$$Improvements$$$$$$3D scene: GCR definition clarified in the help$$$Bifacial: all orientations with an error or warning are now reported$$$Bifacial: errors stemming from the irregularity of pitch or the average tracker axis are now warnings$$$Databases update.$$$Power Factor: The help pages and other explantations about the power factor have been rewritten and have been illustrated with graphics to clarify the concepts.$$$Shading: A message is now displayed upon exit of the 3D dialog when the Partial Shading Calc selection is less than 5% of the total area or less than 10 tables$$$Corrections$$$$$$Backtracking: the number of trackers with a higher GCR is now recomputed upon changing the backtracking reference tracker$$$Bifacial: The calculation of the rear-side diffuse contribution for horizontal PV tables; and the corresponding loss diagram have been corrected (regression in V8.0.13)$$$Components; PAN file: the numerical value of Voc in the PV module definition window is no longer affected by numerical imprecision$$$Detailed Results: the absence of default variables for monthly plots no longer causes crashes$$$Shadings: Print output now processes all orientations$$$Shadings; thin objects: the partition model results in presence of thin objects have been corrected. This may impact the simulation results; by increasing the electrical shadings slightly in some cases (**).$$$Report: Fix for partial shading always reporting 100%$$$Report: the units of energy results are now correct$$$Check also dedicated page for PVsystCLI changes$$$
