Good day, Recently PVGIS has updated to the new version 5.3 but I am not able to import meteo data from this version. In PVSyst I'm only able to select version 5.2 or 5.1, in the online portal from PVGIS I'm able to download the meteo data in ccv, json or epw, but I can't figure out how to import these datafiles into datafiles into PVSyst. Could you help me with this problem? Thank you in advance, Jan Kleppe Generation Green

Hello everyone, it is noted that approximately since the release of the new PVsyst 8 version, when attempting to create a new site and import the PVGIS TMY v. 5.2 weather database, this attempt returns error and you are unable to move forward unless you change databases (such as meteonorm). Attempts have been made in Italy, and I don't know for other countries if the problem exists, although I think so. Please fix the problem, thank you very much, kind regards.

Hello forum users, i am doing some research on the various Horizon sources available. i have chosen some meteo data i have used for previous projects and i would like to do a series of analysis for each one of them using: 1 - SolarGIS Horizon profile 2 - Meteonorm Horizon (from PVsyst web sources) 3 - PVGIS Horizon (from PVsyst web sources) my goal is to: compare the "far shading losses" and the Horizon line drawings considering the different Horizon data so to have a general overview of the differences between the Horizon datasets; of course my research will also include the study of the manuals and theory behind the definition of the Horizon profile provided by each one of the three Meteo database. i would like to raise a couple of questions: how far has to be an obstacle to be actually considered in the far shadings? considering the high dependency of the horizon from the exact geographical coordinates, are there any suggestion on the horizon profile choice regarding big PV plants? has someone of you undergone some similar studies? have you found some interesting results? also, considering point 2, a question for the software developers: are you considering a possible software update that would allow the user to set different horizon profiles, perhaps linking a single profile to a single subfield? thank you very much in advance for your contribution!

Hi I would like to know if the terrain shadows (far shading losses) are included in the TMY PVGIS 5.1/5.2 imported data when a .SIT is created. Thank you.
