There are two ways to import SolarAnywhere® Data into PVcase Yield for use in PV production modeling:

1. Import the data directly into PVcase Yield using the SolarAnywhere API.
2. Download SolarAnywhere Data from data.solaranywhere.com and import the file(s) into PVcase Yield.

API integration is only available to SolarAnywhere Typical Year Unlimited and Enterprise, Typical Year+, and Sites customers. Sites users must first activate their desired site through our web portal prior to accessing data via API.

Import a downloaded SolarAnywhere file

SolarAnywhere typical-year data can easily be imported into PVcase Yield by following a few simple steps:

1. Download typical-year data from SolarAnywhere in SolarAnywhere or TMY3 output format in 60-minute temporal resolution.
2. In any PVcase Yield project, navigate to the Meteo section of your project parameters. On this page, click the Change button in the Data source box. In the pop-up window, select CSV file and then Continue.
3. On the Set up meteo file page, click the file line to select your Typical Year file. Then confirm the coordinates, time zone and data fields.
