Creating Site in PVsyst vs. Meteonorm

[mirkwoodgdp]

I am creating a new location using given coordinates, and on PVsyst, it gives satellite data from 1957-1988, but when I create the same site in Meteonorm, it gives satellite data from 1998 - 2000.

A) How can there be satellite data from 1957- 1988?

B) Is the data in meteonorm itself more recent than the data from meteonorm in PVsyst?

FYI -- I am using updated versions of both softwares (MN 7.2, PVsyst 6.6.2)

I am really aestonished about the Satellite data of 1957... This was just the year of the launching of the first satellite Sputnik (which was just able to send bip-bip-bip to the earth) !!!

Are you sure you have read this in Meteonorm data ? For which site ???

Now the DLL presently imbedded in PVsyst (V6.62) is Meteonorm V 7.1. You can have slight differences with the nes Meteonorm V 7.2, as the models and database have been improved.

Please have a look on the documentation on www.meteonorm.com.

Thanks for your reply! The site is located in Comoros.

In the project area it displayed this: "Meteonorm 7.1 [1957-1988], Sat=100% Synthetic 0 Km"
