Weather data site

The meteo site parameters include :

• Latitude,
• Longitude,
• Altitude,
• Time Zone,
• and a typical monthly weather data.

In the *.MET file the monthly meteo and the geographical position on Google maps can be visualized using the View site button. Note that PVsyst gives the possibility to export the weather data site as a *.SIT file if this has not been done during the importing procedure with the Export Weather data site button; the newly created *.SIT file will then be available for loading as the project site in the project definition section.

It is important not to confuse between the meteo site and the project site. The weather data is only valid at the location where it was measured - or interpolated is the weather data provider uses interpolation methods - and this location is not necessarily the same as the project location. When defining a project, PVsyst searches for the available weather data files in the vicinity of the project site.
