Uploading an already-generated *.met file

[td97]

Hi -

For some reason, I cannot find any information about uploading a *.met file that has been shared with you by another PVsyst user. Could you please instruct? I don't have the source data, only the output .met file.

Thanks!

Versions 6.8x cannot be used in earlier PVsyst versions. If the there is no version incompatibility, just drop the .met file into your meteo folder: C:\Users\COMPUTERNAME\PVsyst6xx_Data\Meteo

Thank you. Unfortunately, I have updated to the latest version and the .met file was created in a previous version. Is there a way for me to somehow return to a previous version to upload the meteo file, and then return to the updated version of PVsyst and have the meteo transfer with that change?

If you can't directly drop it into 6.8, import it into an older version of PVsyst (create a project) then export the project . Then import the project into 6.8. You can install an older version of PVsyst as a parallel installation and use both versions of PVsyst if you only have 6.8 currently.

Sorry if I'm missing something, but if I have the most up-to-date version, how can I open an older version? Thanks!

Find version that will work with the met file you have, install as parallel installation. Did you first try just dropping the file or importing the MET file first? Open 6.8, select file > import components, find your MET file, import.
