Production Modeling. Production modeling of the PV systems shall be performed using HelioScope, System Advisor Model (XXX), PVSYST, or equivalent modeling software using TMY3 weather data for the location closest to the site. The simulations shall accurately simulate energy production for proposed system layouts, sizes, and orientation. It is critical that PV production models are accurate with all methodology and assumptions described. The County or its agents will independently verify production models are accurate to the designed systems and utilize simulation results for economic evaluations. Contractor shall be responsible for updating the production models each time sufficient changes are made to the proposed system designs that will impact production. Contractor shall avoid excessive shading on modules to the extent possible. Where shading losses are encountered, Contractor shall perform a shading analysis justifying the basis for their design and explaining why shading does not create an adverse performance and/or economic impact.
Production Modeling. Production modeling of the PV systems in the Project shall be performed in accordance with the instructions provided in the RFP.
Production Modeling. Production modeling of the PV systems shall be performed using PVsyst or equivalent modeling software using the most appropriate available typical meteorological year three (TMY3) weather data. The simulations shall accurately simulate energy production for proposed system layouts, sizes, and orientation. It is critical that PV production models are accurate with all methodology and assumptions described. The City will independently verify production models are accurate to the designed systems and utilize simulation results for economic evaluations. Contractor shall be responsible for providing updated production models each time sufficient changes are made to the proposed system designs that will impact production, considered to be minimally 0.5%. Production models shall be submitted at minimum for the Construction Documents phase and the As-Built phase.

It is critical that PV production models are accurate with all methodology and assumptions described. The Purchaser will independently verify production models are accurate to the designed systems and utilize simulation results for economic evaluations. Seller shall be responsible for updating the production models each time sufficient changes are made to the proposed system designs that will impact production. Seller shall avoid excessive shading on modules to the extent possible. Where shading losses are encountered, Seller shall perform a shading analysis justifying the basis for their design, including any proposed tree removal, and explaining why shading does not create an adverse performance and/or economic impact.
