Hourly data from PySAM was created by Adam Gallaher
Hello, 

I am looking to obtain hourly generation data from pvwatts8 through PySAM. I see that users can obtain high resolution hourly generation data from SAM GUI, I am wondering if this capability is possible in PySAM as well. 

Thank you, 

Adam

Hi Adam,

The PySAM documentation explains how to install and get started using the nrel-pysam package for Python: nrel-pysam.readthedocs.io/en/main/index.html

Yes, the Pvwattsv8 module's output variable 'ac' is the hourly (or subhourly) AC ouptut of the inverter:  nrel-pysam.readthedocs.io/en/main/modules/Pvwattsv8.html#PySAM.Pvwattsv8.Pvwattsv8.Outputs.ac

Best regards,
Paul.
