      Type54's outputs are in solar time since it doesn't ask anything
    (either in the parameter list or in the external file) about the
    location's longitude. As a consequence, yes, you need to set the
    Type16 parameter to expect solar time, not local time.<br>
    <br>
      TMY2 (and TMY3) data is reported in local time. When reading these
    data files, we highly recommend that you use Type15, which reads and
    processes weather data entirely within one component so that you do
    not need to worry about setting Type16 parameters.<br>
    regards,<br>
