Dear Sir,

We have the weather data for a location in saudi arabia which contains only monthly data(average values) and not hourly data for three years. So is it possible to create our own SAM csv file with the help of the sample format available in the website as we don't have the hourly data. Please advice us on the same.

Thank You
Mohammad Abdul Baseer

Dear Mohammad,

Thank you for the message.

SAM requires hourly or subhourly weather data. It will not work with monthly data. Please see the weather data page for information about where to find weather data to use with SAM:

sam.nrel.gov/weather

Best regards,
Paul.
