About Weather Data

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 Diego,

Please see these videos demonstrating how to manage weather files and let me know if you still have trouble:

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!

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.

Hi Paul,

That was exactly my problem. Thank you very much!
