Dear Adam,
You can ignore those two errors.
This is an issue with some of the power tower model's underlying code, specifically in the S_decode function in
solpos.cpp
, which writes a series of messages to
. The function reports the two errors you mention even when the weather file is valid, so that is a bug in the code that we will fix.
Depending on how you are executing your Python code, you may or may not see the
messages. If you are seeing the messages and want to suppress them, you can use the following from the command line to redirect the messages, assuming your Python code is in a file named "untitled.py":
python untitled.py 2> out
Best regards,
Paul.
