  Hi,
  
  when I do a solar load calculation and i create a .txt file as you see below. I get only values for the first day. do you know why I get 0 for the rest of time steps? and the values of solar irradiation for the first day are also are a bit high for a winter season in spain.
  "report-def-0-rfile"
  "Time Step" "report-def-0 etc.."
  ("Time Step" "report-def-0" "flow-time")

  Please keep the conversation on here so others can learn. I suspect the tool doesn't understand that hour 25 on day 1 is actually hour 1 in day 2. The function was intended to assist in setting conditions and not for running many days of calculation with one hour time steps.
  Re the values, did you alter the sunshine factor and assume fair or theoretical weather? The tool doesn't account for cloud cover.
