Weather inputs

Irradiance, temperature and wind of each timestep

Inputs used: Global horizontal irradiance, Diffuse horizontal irradiance, Direct normal irradiance

What it is

The weather file provides the sunlight, temperature and wind of every timestep. The three irradiance columns are the global horizontal irradiance, its diffuse part and the direct normal irradiance.
