SAM for UK was created by makawhite

Hi

Is there by any chance a version compatible with the UK market. I have downloaded SAM 2013.1.15 but can only find US locations?

Many Thanks
Mark

Mark,

Please take a look at the SAM compatible EPW UK .

Also, take a look at Meteonorm . Meteonorm can output in TMY2 or TMY3 format and SAM can read in either one of those. 

Also, take a look at the SWERA site as well. 

The SAM team does not create any weather data ourselves but receive it from other activities at NREL and other public sources.

Hope this helps,
Steve

Mark,

You also have option to purchase site-specific TMY files for SAM from SolarGIS database, developed by GeoModel Solar. The data are available for pay, but if you are working on commercial/utility-scale PV projects it is worth to invest in reliable data. More information here: solargis.com/products/ .
