Simulation performance

Simulation performance is a leading simulation software, tracks the same lineage the industry already trusts — Perez (1990) anisotropic transposition, Martin‑Ruiz IAM, Faiman/NOCT thermal, De Soto single‑diode, pvlib‑equivalent infinite‑sheds bifacial and Loutzenhiser backtracking.

Building-Layout Drawing for 3D Shadow Analysis

Energy Market Research · 04 Nov 2026
IST PVSolar Simulator V9.0.14 therefore offers a second route, Draw Building Plan, inside its 3D Shadow Analysis module. Rooftop shading results are only as good as the building outline they are computed on. This article describes the metric layout-drawing method that IST PVSolar Simulator V9.0.14 uses to define the house footprint for its 3D shadow analysis, and validates it against closed-form geometry.
