I would like to ask something about the meteo files. I'm studying some locations using NREL / NSRDB TMY, importing the information directly from PVsyst. After creating the .sit files the software also creates an "...NREL_TMY.MET" file. But after that I can also create a synthetic meteo file for that site.
My question is whether it's convenient or not to create that syntehtic file, because it always results in a higher yield than the TMY file. I wonder if that's the right procedure or if I get fake results by doing it.
TMY vs Synthetic meteo files

Hello, everyone:
I would like to ask something about the meteo files. I'm studying some locations using NREL / NSRDB TMY, importing the information directly from PVsyst. After creating the .sit files the software also creates an "...NREL_TMY.MET" file. But after that I can also create a synthetic meteo file for that site.
My question is whether it's convenient or not to create that syntehtic file, because it always results in a higher yield than the TMY file. I wonder if that's the right procedure or if I get fake results by doing it.
Thanks in advance!
