TMY3 files downloaded from NREL's site should work fine with the
demo version. You do have to make sure that you are using the TMY3
mode of Type15. When you get the error, to what "it" do you refer?
Is there an error generated by TRNSYS? Is Windows complaining about
the file type? Some additional specifics about the source of the
error and the language of the error would help in tracking down its
cause.<br>
kind regards,<br>

<div dir="ltr">I currently do not have access to a paid TRNSYS
subscription and was trying to do a quick simulation of a PV

the Demo version? When I try this it says the file type is not
recognized, even though it has the TMY3 extension. Thanks.</div>
