New To SAM - want solely PV generation data

New To SAM - want solely PV generation data was created by 617PV
Hi there, please forgive my ignorance, I am still getting accustomed to the tool. I am interested in doing my own financial analysis on a potential PV system, but want to use the SAM tool to generate year and weather specific PV generation data. Is there some way to bypass the financial analysis and just download the simulated PV data? Other tools exist to generate pv data given your parameters, but I need the complexity of year specific weather data, and all other tools use 30-year TMY averages, which does not further my research.

Many thanks, any help and advice is much appreciated.

Hello,
You can model a PV system in SAM without a financial model. When you create a new file or case, choose the "No financial model" option:
