Hello,

Would you mind attaching a copy of the weather file that causes this problem to your post above, or emailing it to me ?

Best regards,
Paul.

Hello,

Thank you for providing the files that caused the problem.

There is an issue in SAM 2018.11.11 with the CSP models that we will resolve in the next software update.

In the meantime, please replace the
runtime/ui/Solar Resource Data.txt
file in your SAM installation folder (
C:/SAM/2018.11.11
) by default in Windows) with this updated one:

raw.githubusercontent.com/NREL/SAM/patch/deploy/runtime/ui/Solar%20Resource%20Data.txt

Best regards,
Paul.

SAM 2018.11.11 Revision 1 should resolve both of these issues.

If you modified the
Solar Resource Data.txt
according to my instructions above, you may need to download and install a new version of SAM instead of updating the original version:

sam.nrel.gov/download

Please try installing a clean version and let me know whether or not that works.

Best regards,
Paul.
