Albedo in .MET files

[Leticia]

Hello everyone!

I searched for documentation explaning better about the Albedo that is now available in version 8 to input in .MET files, but I didn't find any infformation. Can you please explain me better if the Albedo inputed in timeseries data would it be realted to albedo of the project, which is the albedo of the far terrain in front of the PV installation, or the albedo for the bifacial evaluation, that is the albedo of the ground below the installation.

@Leticia Currently, albedo is still stored in the weather file as monthly coefficients. This means that the time series will be summarized into monthly values. The hourly time series will be exploited in a later patch.

These coefficients can then be used in the project settings, but it still requires going to the project settings and click on the button to copy the values from the MET file.

Since these coefficients can end up in the project settings, they are currently intended to be used for the far albedo.
