I was able to use weather data with a 15-minute demand load input file using PV (PVWatts) version. But, using the same weather and demand input load using PV (Detailed), I get this message:
exec fail(pvsamv1): electric load profile must have same number of values as weather file, or 8760
Simulation pvsamv1 failed.
*** I found a similar issue issue/response after doing a search. So, instead of responding about using the LK script to adjust the weather data to 15-minute intervals, I will suggest an enhancement to provide a checkbox for SAM to do this for the user. It seems to me to be something that many others will encounter so having a simpler solution would be very helpful.
