Import PVGIS - 5.3

[JanGG]

Good day, 

Recently PVGIS has updated to the new version 5.3 but I am not able to import meteo data from this version. 
In PVSyst I'm only able to select version 5.2 or 5.1, in the online portal from PVGIS I'm able to download the meteo data in ccv, json or epw, but I can't figure out how to import these datafiles into datafiles into PVSyst. Could you help me with this problem?

Thank you in advance,

Hi,

Indeed, PVGIS 5.3 will be available in the next version of PVsyst (8.0.7) being released next month. 

Until then you can export your PVGIS data as a .csv file, and import this as a Custom file in PVsyst. Go to databases, Custom file, choose your PVGIS file from your computer and define your site. Click New and define all the relevant parameters, such as the Time step, numbers of head lines to be skipped before the data starts, format of the date, in which column what variable can be found etc. By clicking ok you can then start the conversion of your data to a .MET file that can be used to run your simulation. 

Kind regards
