1. For a list of resources for weather data, please see the Download Weather Files topic in SAM's help system.

2. If you would like to model a system with a brand of module that is not in either the Sandia or CEC module library, you can use the CEC Performance Model with User Entered Specifications option to enter the module specifications by hand. See the Modules topic for details.

3. For now, if the inverter you want to model is not in the Sandia inverter library, you can choose an inverter with similar characterstics to the one you want to model. We plan to add an option for specifying the inverter parameters in the next version of SAM (Summer/Fall 2013).

4. You can specify a wide range of incentives on the Incentives page. For locations outside of the United States, it is not possible to automatically download incentive data from SAM.

Best regards,
Paul.

Dear Yogesh,

Can you tell me what weather file you are using? Is it one from the EnergyPlus website, or from a different source?

Best regards,
Paul.
