(Go directly to NASA-SSE main page)

 

•Choose  "Tools" / "Geographical site" / "New", choose the site on the Google map page, and  ask "Import" from Nasa-SSE.

Alternatively, you can also find the data directly on the NASA site:

•Go to the NASA site http://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/sse/

•Click        Data Retrieval:        Meteorology and Solar Energy

•Enter Latitude and Longitude of your system   (or choose on the map)

NB: in the data the conventions are the same as in PVsyst: positive longitudes from Greenwich, toward east.  

•Choose:  
       Parameters for sizing        Insolation (average, Min and Max)

 Meteorology:        Air temperature (at 10m)

 Eventually:        Wind speed at 50m

NB:  we do not recommend to use these wind data for estimating Module temperatures in the simulation.

Then you can print these data, and you should enter them manually as a new geographic site.
