Site

Where the system is, its monthly ground and soiling conditions, and its horizon

What it is

The site section places the system on the globe and carries the conditions that change with the location: latitude, longitude, elevation, the time zone the weather data is stamped in, twelve monthly albedo values, twelve monthly soiling values, and the horizon profile that describes distant hills or buildings.

Typical values and how to get it

Pick the location on the map or type an address, then fetch the elevation and time zone. Keep the monthly tables at their defaults unless you have site measurements, and generate the horizon from the location when the site is not flat.
