You could also create your own BIN data from TMY or
WYEC2 files using Excel. Just manipulate the data and
you can create whatever you want. the advantage of
this is that you can break the data up by time of day,
and also use whatever bin size you like.

You can get TMY data free at:

http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/old_data/nsrdb/tmy2/State.html

Or there's lots of places to get TMY/WYEC2 data for a
fee (ie. Ashrae)

For recent (specific year) data you could try the
University of Dayton site. This is just daily average
temp, but is complete from 1995 to today. You could
use it to compare/adjust BIN data:
