RETScreen Import Error - Value must lie between -20 and 50

[Evan_CSSI]

I'm trying to import RETScreen data on PVsyst 5.72 for the location of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada.

I can save the site file but when I go to execute the meteo I get an error that won't allow me to proceed, "Value must lie between -20 and 50".

This error is referring to the temperature column of my data I believe. Because the location is so far north the temperatures for winter months go as low as -32°C.

Is there any workaround for this or am I simply not able to import this data because it's too cold!?

Thanks!

There is a parameter to define this limit.

In the main window menu choose 'Preferences -> Edit hidden parameters'

Look for the category 'Miscellaneous'. There you can set 'Minimum monthly ambient temperature' (the default is indeed -20 °C).
