Description
Describe the bug
When downloading a file from https://re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pvg_tools/en/tools.html#TMY, the conversion to SAM CSV errors out on line 948, which deals with timestep conversions.
It looks like the converter code expects 01/01/2013 00:00:00
Whereas the actual file is:
20080101:0000
Workaround is to download an epw formatted file instead.

Research direction
Start with the PVGIS-to-SAM CSV converter code at line 948, where timestep conversions are reported to fail. Compare the expected 01/01/2013 00:00:00 value with the downloaded 20080101:0000 format. Done means the PVGIS file converts to SAM CSV without the line 948 error.
