I'm new using Pvsyst can someone teach me how I import the .SIT and .MET file in the pvsyst database so that I can use for my solar project.

Dear Stewart,

Do you mean that you have a .SIT and .MET already that you want to use in another project in another workspace rather than create new ones? In this case, one way is to use the "import component" function, that you find under "File" in the PVsyst welcome window and import a folder containing the relevant files.

Another way is to simply to open your current workspace (you find your workspace in the bottom right corner in the first welcome window in PVsyst, by clicking on the link you find a folder structure that is saved on your computer) and place the .SIT file in the folder "Sites" and the .MET file in the folder "Meteo". Like this, the files are saved in your database and you should be able to find them in the list of sites and weather files.

To create a site file and weather file in general, I invite you to read the tutorials available on our website, as well as the video tutorials on the subject in the links below.

How about i have a project that i want to import the .VC1 and .PRJ

[Linda Thoren]

The best way in general to import and export projects, is to first export the project as a .zip either by clicking "File" and "Export project" in the welcome window, or "Export" in the Project. Like this you are sure to include all the needed files when you then import the project to another work space. With a complete project file you can import by clicking "File" and "Import project" or similarly click "Import" in your project. 

If you only have the .PRJ and .VC1, you can import a folder containing these files similarly to how you import other components, through the "Import components", or by placing the files in in the "Projects" folder in your workspace.
