Hi Paul
EPW weather files and my own SAM sb-hourly CSV files that were working with release 2 are no longer valid when working with release 3. I have re-installed release 2 and I am back working fine, and the issues below disappear.
Issue1)
Using release 3, with my ownSAM CSV sub-hourly weather files, execution fails with: “Weather file hour range was not (0-23) or (1-24)”. Hourly files work fine. I have attached my sub-hourly file.
Issue2)
Using hourly EPW files from
climate.onebuilding.org/
causes the following issue
exec fail(pvsamv1): Error calculating shadingfactor for subarray 0 at index 0
Simulation pvsamv1 failed :execfail(pvsamv1): Error calculating shading factor for subarray 0 at index 0
If I convert them to SAM CSV files, then they work fine. The weather file checker macro states the EPW file is fine. EPW file attached.
Note: Another user has raised this issue here:
sam.nrel.gov/forum/forum-general/3095-exec-fail-pvsamv1-error-calculating-shading-factor-for-subarray-0-at-index-0.html#8531
Thanks very much.
Mark
