Import Custom Hourly values

[Abeer]

How can I import an Excel file containing one year of hourly meteorological data into PVsyst?

[Agnes Bridel]

The most straightforward is to prepare your excel file in the PVsyst standard format for hourly meteo data. You can then import the file directly through "Databases > Known format" and select the PVsyst standard format from the dropdown menu. For more information on the format, please refer to the help page:  https://www.pvsyst.com/help/index.html?meteo_pvsyst_standard_format.htm

 

Otherwise, you also have the possibility to import your data through "Databases > Custom file". You will have to define the conversion protocol (MEF file) so that PVsyst can convert it to a MET file for the simulation. A step by step explanation on the custom file import can be found on the help page  https://www.pvsyst.com/help/index.html?meteo_convdialog.htm

Best,
