Timezone always zero was created by Weng Pin Wong

Hi,
The timezone from my software always set to zero although I use different longitude values? May you help me to resolve this issue?

Thanks!

Yours Sincerely,
Weng Pin.

Hi Weng Pin,

SAM reads the time zone value from the weather file so you should be sure both the longitude and time zone values in the weather file are correct.

Beast regards,
Paul.

Hi Paul,

The weather file is downloaded from NSDRB, the irradiation and other parameters are ok, but the timezone of the files downloaded from NSDRB is always zero, so this makes the DNI graphs from the software always appear inaccurate, any ways to resolve this issue?

Best regards,
Weng Pin.
