Question about Photovoltaic in SAM was created by isakhar

Dear SAM Team

It is my first time to ask here about operation of SAM simulation. I have one year data (2014 data) such as temperature, solar direct, solar diffuse,pressure, wind speed and wind direction. I have input this to SAM and use performance model Photovoltaic (PVWatts) with Commercial (distributed) mark on DNI and DHI for Weather File Irradiance Data to run the simulation but I did not get any result of simulation.

What is still wrong with my simulation ??

Really appreciate for any help.

Dear Soares,

Thank you for the message.

It is possible that there is a problem with your weather file.

You can run the Solar Resource File Checker macro to see if it finds any problems: To run the macro, click Macros in the bottom left corner of the main SAM window, and then click the macro's name in the list and follow the instructions.

I would also be happy to check your file for you if you would like to email it to me.

Best regards,
Paul.
