The following article contains all about the Meteodata base. It gives a basic idea on meteo data and its sources.

The evaluation of any solar project starts with the management and organization of #PVsyst meteo data. The #Meteo_database is a crucial topic that one should know about before getting into any solar project.

A meteo database contains sensitive and critical data. Any slight variation in the data could greatly affect out energy estimation analysis. So, This part of PVsyst where we deal with the meteo database requires a great deal of attention.

This article provides the basic knowledge on metrics of meteo data, it’s sources, geographical sites(.SIT files), synthetic hourly data generation (.MET Files), Meteo tables and graphs. It also provides a comparison analysis on various meteo sources like Meteonorm, PVGIS, NASA-SSE, Solcast.
