Solar Designer Posted February 1, 2023 Report Posted February 1, 2023 Hi, I am looking to understand how is the climate data calculated. Is it it satellite images or else is it estimated from previous years data ? Quote
developer_mh Posted February 3, 2023 Report Posted February 3, 2023 Hi Solar Designer, climate data can be derived from various sources, using various methods. In PV*SOL we offer our users to use climate data by the following providers: Meteonorm Valentin Software (our own method, for Germany only) PVGIS Solcast SolarAnywhere These providers all use different approaches and different data sources. Most of the time, a mixture of satellite imagery and ground measurement is used as input data. Please also have a look at our help pages, there you'll also find links to the providers: https://help.valentin-software.com/pvsol/en/pages/system-type-climate-and-grid/meteosyn/#create-new-location Kind regards, Martin Quote
