(Back to
Project definition)
The detailed simulation process requires the following
meteorological hourly
data:
| - |
Horizontal Global Irradiance |
| - |
Horizontal Diffuse Irradiance
(optional, may be constructed by a model) |
| - |
Wind velocity (optional, for
module temperature calculation). |
These data are stored in meteo files ( *.MET files) and you can see
them in the
Meteo tables and graphs section. You can get meteo data
from any location using the Meteonorm database in the "Geographical site" dialog, import data
from a great number of
Meteo data sources, or create files from your own
measured data. Read also our note on
Monthly & Hourly meteo files.
The list of
meteo files is filled with all files found in the area around the
current selected site.
More meteo files can be displayed if you increase the maximum search area to an upper limit
(this can be done in the
project settings).
