The detailed simulation process requires the following meteorological hourly data:

-Horizontal Global Irradiance,
-Ambient Temperature,
-Horizontal Diffuse Irradiance (optional, may be constructed by a model),
-Wind velocity (optional, for module temperature calculation).

 
These data are stored in meteo files ( *.MET files) and you can see them in the Meteo tables and graphs section. You can get meteo data from any location using the Meteonorm database in the "Geographical site" dialog, import data from a great number of Meteo data sources, or create files from your own measured data. Read also our note on Monthly & Hourly meteo files.
 

The list of meteo files is filled with all files found in the area around the current selected site.
More meteo files can be displayed if you increase the maximum search area to an upper limit (this can be done in the project settings).
