How can I use data and currency from my country. was created by cirleno

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if someone could help me. I from Paraná one state of Brazil located on the south and looking about Photovoltaic system.

I use this site to get GHI and TILT:

maps.nrel.gov/swera/#/?aL=ME4NNK%255Bv%255D%3Dt%26z0JMes%255Bv%255D%3Dt%26z0JMes%255Bd%255D%3D1&bL=swOlI_&cE=0&lR=0&mC=-14.859850400601037%2C-46.3623046875&zL=5

But I would like to ask if is possible to use this on the SAM, and how can I do this? How about change the currency USD to Brazilian - Real, it's possible too?

Thank's fot the moment.

Cirleno.

Hi Cirleno,

Please see the Weather Data page for information about where to find weather data to use with SAM:

sam.nrel.gov/weather

SAM uses the dollar symbol "$" for currency, and default currency amounts are in U.S. Dollars. It is not possible to change the currency symbol. You could use a different currency as long as you are careful to change all of the default currency amounts to values appropriate for your analysis.

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Paul

Would it be possible to highlight all currency fields - it might be easy to leave one of the defaults by accident?

Best Regards

Hi DC,

There is not a way to select all of the inputs that are monetary values. You can use the inputs browser (File, Inputs Browser) to list all of the inputs in the case. You can also edit inputs directly in the inputs browser, so it might help you accomplish what you are trying to do.

Best regards,
Paul.
