Importing NREL NSRDB Data

[JolD]

Hello,

When I create a new meteo site in the United States, no matter where the location, if I try to import meteo data from NREL NSRDB, I get an error message saying that "NREL NSRDB data unavailable for your location". I tried numerous locations in the US (all of which worked previously), but I get the same message. Is there a problem with the API? I've tried using both v6.8 and v7.0 and get the same error.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

I have the same issue.

I'm experiencing a similar problem. I get the pop up that says NREL NSRDB data unavailable for your location even though this location is in the USA.

Maybe related/unrelated the interactive map was not working either. PVsyst suggested I check my internet connection but my connection is fine. I'm wondering if the server that this information pulls from is down?

I also have the same issue, using PVsyst version 6.79.

Additionally, PVsyst reports that there is no internet connection and Google Maps is unavailable.

However I have confirmed that both internet and Google Maps are available.

I suspect that the API for Google Maps may have changed, which means we must update. It would be good to have confirmation on this.

THanks!

The map feature was patched in version 6.88. As for NREL, there may have been changes on their databases which makes it no longer work (they decommissioned some older databases recently). You can access NREL PSM here and download the weather file manually: https://maps.nrel.gov/nsrdb-viewer/. Use meteonorm to create your site.

I had this issue awhile ago and then did the update which resolved the issue.

Now the issue is back. I can not import NREL NSRDB data.

I downloaded the latest PVsyst (7.1). Brand new look. However I still can't import NREL NSRDB, in fact that option is grayed out now so I can't even select it. Is this source no longer supported?
