Hello,

I want to model an on grid PV system in Chile, but I don't know how to import local weather files correctly to SAM software, it says that the file doesn´t exist. Any idea?

Thank you all!

Hi Paul,

I saw the video you shared and I am still having trouble. I created a folder with my weather file in .csv format, downloaded in here:

ernc.dgf.uchile.cl:48080/exploracion

Then, followed all the steps related to weather files managing, and it returns the same issue:

'Weather file does not exist. Please choose or download a different file above'

I also runned the macro to check the file and no issues were detected.

Any help will be usefull!

Best regards,
Diego Hormazábal H.

Hi Diego,

SAM can only load weather files from a local folder on your computer, so please be sure any folders you add are local.

Best regards,
Paul.
