Solmetric Project Builder

Beta

Enter your site, module and array layout once, and PV Ivy pre-builds the Solmetric PV Analyzer project (.pvapx) — Site Info plus the whole Array Navigator tree of inverters, combiners and strings, named the way your technicians name them. A test-ready project in minutes, not an hour of tapping.

Beta — verify before field use. The .pvapx structure was matched against a real PV Analyzer project file. Note the PVA software will still ask you to confirm the module from its equipment database when you first open the project (its internal module record can't be pre-embedded), and the Fixed array type is awaiting field verification. Please report any import issues. The CSV manifest download works regardless and is a safe fallback.

1 Site Info

Project name

Address

Latitude

Longitude

Time zone

Array type

Azimuth (°)

Tilt (°)

2 Module & String

Manufacturer

Model

Modules per string

Strings in parallel

Performance factor (%)

Wire gauge (AWG)

Wire length (ft, one-way)

3 Array Hierarchy

Patterns use {n} = this level's index and {i} = parent index, with optional zero-padding like {n:02} → 01. Example: CB-{i}.{n}.
