Just update to skelion 521. Some address changed and relief tool stop working. It is fixed in 521.
You can enter any file with NREL TMY3 format.
In future versions we will add a tool to create synthetic hourly values from monthly values.
Meteo data is only used to calculate shading losses (radiation that arrives to the panel taking into account shadows).
Yield is calculated with PVWATTS and PVGIS and meteo data used to calculate shading losses in skelion is not related.
Watch insert solar panels video and and SOF plots video please.

Recommended iterations are 1-3, as you can read just on the left of the text box.
Nobody needs 30 iterations so use 1,2 or 3 iterations. Remember to check join shadows radio button also.
Any error you can reproduce please email to support@skelion.com telling the steps to reproduce the error, Skelion version, SketchUp version and OS version.
About Skelion 519 versus 518, there are a lot of changes and it is the work of several months. If the message appears it is because update is critical. Also I recommend you to update SketchUp each year.
In the above post you can see the new solar tracking feature, only one of the changes that have skelion 519.
Best regards
Last version of Skelion has been released, with a nice solar tracking feature, for one and two axis solar trackers:

Problem is not related with Skelion. Update to SketchUp 2015 last release.
And use perspective view.
Obects disappear: Not skelion related, is camera clipping. Change from parallel view to perspective view and problem is solved.
Read about here:

Camera clipping problem does not affect shading derate calculations
I not sure what are you talking... You can set tilt and azimuth of the components. You can choose also 3 different ways to insert the components in non-planar.
Please, watch the video tutorials at http://www.youtube.com/skelion
Go to plugins foder and there skelion folder. Read change.log to see the changes.
About the image, is not a glitch. If you have 2 faces coplanar, SketchUp shows both textures.
Give some depth to your panels and then the face of the panel won't be coplanar to roof face.
