Hi Paul,

Are there any sample tmy sub-hourly files that I can test the wfreader() module with in SSC? Ideally, if you had 15-minute data that would be ideal.

Thanks!

Hi Nathan,
Here is a sample 15-minute weather file in SAM CSV format for Barstow-Daggett, California that should work for your purposes. Note that it only has DNI solar data, and is missing relative humidity meteorological data. The file should work for the CSP models, but will not work for the photovoltaic models because it is missing both GHI and DHI data.

Best regards,
