Is it also possible to use my own climate data?
If your climate data is available in hourly format (i.e. 8760 values each for temperature, global radiation, wind and relative humidity) you can read these into our programs by saving the data as an ASCII file, separating the data with a TAB and using the extention *.dat.

The first lines (the file header) should look like this: |
|
|
Example |
Explanation |
|
"Wien" |
1st line: Name of location |
|
48.1866,-16.3426,170,-1,-30 |
2nd line: latitude, longitude, altitude, time relative to Greenwich (eg -1 for Germany),-30 should be included at the end |
|
|
3rd line: empty line |
|
Ta Gh FF RH |
4th line: should be as shown; separated by a TAB |
|
|
|
|
Example |
Explanation |
|
-5,0 0 1,8 75,5 |
5th to 8764th lines: external temperature – global radiation onto the horizontal/m² - wind speed - relative humidity; separated by a TAB. |
Please note that missing data has to be filled up with "0".
In PV*SOL Pro 4.5, PV*SOL Expert 5.0 and T*SOL Pro 5.0 you are not longer able to import your own climate data.
