Weather file import not working. "The hourly data are not defined."

[LPeterson]

When importing a weather file for a new project, I am getting an error that says "Invalid weather file: The hourly data are not defined."

I am using the same process I have always used, where I define the coordinates of the site and then import weather data from SolarAnywhere (see screenshot), but not I am getting this error which I have never gotten before. I also tried using NREL/NSRDB, and I am getting the same error. Is this a bug? I just updated to version 8.0.17.

Following up on this, I reverted back to version 8.0.1 and I am no longer having this issue. So it seems like a bug was introduced at some point.

I am having this same issue. I'm running 8.0.17 and will revert back to 8.0.1 - thanks LPeterson.

Dear LPeterson,

 

Thanks for reporting the issue. We managed to reproduce it and we are working on a fix to address it. In the meantime I can only advise to roll back to a previous version of PVsyst to import weather data like you mentioned doing.

 

Best regards,

Eric
