Solar shading profile and field-data exports

Export formats

Available formats are selected based on workflow needs.

• CSV
• TXT
• HOR

Why exports matter

• keep field data reusable
• transfer survey data without re-entry
• prepare next analysis steps
• reuse shading profile in external environments
• maintain continuity from field to office

Reusing data in photovoltaic study software

Azimutis exports support workflows involving PVsyst, PVGIS, PV*SOL and HelioScope, depending on the chosen format and your process.

Role of each format

CSV

For reviewing, archiving or post-processing field data.

TXT

For transmitting or integrating data in technical workflows.

HOR

For reusing a shading profile in compatible study software such as PVsyst, PV*SOL or HelioScope depending on format implementation.

Study software commonly involved

• PVsyst
• PVGIS
• PV*SOL
• HelioScope

Exports vs PDF report

Exports: technical reuse in downstream tools.

PDF: readable synthesis for sharing and documentation.

Both can be complementary in one workflow.

Reducing post-visit re-entry

• save time
• reduce copy errors
• preserve data consistency
• start from structured field inputs
• smooth handover from visit to study

FAQ

Which export formats are available?

CSV, TXT and HOR.

What is HOR used for?

It is used to reuse a shading profile in compatible software such as PVsyst, PV*SOL or HelioScope.

When should export be used instead of PDF?

Use export for technical reuse; use PDF for readable reporting and sharing.

Do exports reduce re-entry?

Yes, they keep field data reusable without rebuilding it manually.
