Hello,

does anybody know, if I choose weather file automatically through SAM from NSRDB typing coordinates, does horizon profiles automatically calculated? Otherwise, how to include it in simulation. I don't consider object around rather mountains and hills.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sasa,

Solar irradiance data from the NSRDB is based on satellite image data, so the effect of mountains and hills at the horizon should be accounted for in measurements from that data.

Best regards,
Paul.
