Hello,
I'm a brand new user to the SAM API, trying to figure out the simplest way to do a PVWatts calculation based on actual meteorological year (AMY) data from, e.g., 2019, as opposed to using the gridded TMY data. I see the SAM API has a "dataset" field that has the options "nsrdb", "tmy2", "tmy3", "intl". It looks like "nsrdb" is the gridded TMY. However, I don't see an option to specify a particular year, and get that directly from the NSRDB within a single SAM API call. Do I need to separately download the weather data from the NSRDB API, and then run SAM using a different method (like PySAM) than the API? Thanks for your help!
