[docs]class PVSystem: """ The PVSystem class defines a standard set of PV system attributes and modeling functions. This class describes the collection and interactions of PV system components rather than an installed system on the ground. It is typically used in combination with :py:class:`~pvlib.location.Location` and :py:class:`~pvlib.modelchain.ModelChain` objects. The class supports basic system topologies consisting of: * `N` total modules arranged in series (`modules_per_string=N`, `strings_per_inverter=1`). * `M` total modules arranged in parallel (`modules_per_string=1`, `strings_per_inverter=M`). * `NxM` total modules arranged in `M` strings of `N` modules each (`modules_per_string=N`, `strings_per_inverter=M`). The class is complementary to the module-level functions. The attributes should generally be things that don't change about the system, such the type of module and the inverter. The instance methods accept arguments for things that do change, such as irradiance and temperature. Parameters ---------- arrays : Array or iterable of Array, optional An Array or list of arrays that are part of the system. If not specified a single array is created from the other parameters (e.g. `surface_tilt`, `surface_azimuth`). If specified as a list, the list must contain at least one Array; if length of arrays is 0 a ValueError is raised. If `arrays` is specified the following PVSystem parameters are ignored: - `surface_tilt` - `surface_azimuth` - `albedo` - `surface_type` - `module` - `module_type` - `module_parameters` - `temperature_model_parameters` - `modules_per_string` - `strings_per_inverter` surface_tilt: float or array-like, default 0 Surface tilt angles in decimal degrees. The tilt angle is defined as degrees from horizontal (e.g. surface facing up = 0, surface facing horizon = 90) surface_azimuth: float or array-like, default 180 Azimuth angle of the module surface. North=0, East=90, South=180, West=270. albedo : float, optional Ground surface albedo. If not supplied, then ``surface_type`` is used to look up a value in ``irradiance.SURFACE_ALBEDOS``. If ``surface_type`` is also not supplied then a ground surface albedo of 0.25 is used. surface_type : string, optional The ground surface type. See ``irradiance.SURFACE_ALBEDOS`` for valid values. module : string, optional The model name of the modules. May be used to look up the module_parameters dictionary via some other method. module_type : string, default 'glass_polymer' Describes the module's construction. Valid strings are 'glass_polymer' and 'glass_glass'. Used for cell and module temperature calculations. module_parameters : dict or Series, optional Module parameters as defined by the SAPM, CEC, or other. temperature_model_parameters : dict or Series, optional Temperature model parameters as required by one of the models in pvlib.temperature (excluding poa_global, temp_air and wind_speed). modules_per_string: int or float, default 1 See system topology discussion above. strings_per_inverter: int or float, default 1 See system topology discussion above. inverter : string, optional The model name of the inverters. May be used to look up the inverter_parameters dictionary via some other method. inverter_parameters : dict or Series, optional Inverter parameters as defined by the SAPM, CEC, or other. racking_model : string, default 'open_rack' Valid strings are 'open_rack', 'close_mount', and 'insulated_back'. Used to identify a parameter set for the SAPM cell temperature model. losses_parameters : dict or Series, optional Losses parameters as defined by PVWatts or other. name : string, optional **kwargs Arbitrary keyword arguments.

If a tuple of (min_angle, max_angle) is provided, it represents both the minimum and maximum rotation angles. A rotation to 'max_angle' is a counter-clockwise rotation about the y-axis of the tracker coordinate system. For example, for a tracker with 'axis_azimuth' oriented to the south, a rotation to 'max_angle' is towards the west, and a rotation toward 'min_angle' is in the opposite direction, toward the east.

True denotes backtrack capability. gcr : float, default 2.0/7.0 A value denoting the ground coverage ratio of a tracker system which utilizes backtracking; i.e. the ratio between the PV array surface area to total ground area.

ISBN 3-540-40488-0 See Also -------- singlediode retrieve_sam Notes ----- If the reference parameters in the ModuleParameters struct are read from a database or library of parameters (e.g. System Advisor Model), it is important to use the same EgRef and dEgdT values that were used to generate the reference parameters, regardless of the actual bandgap characteristics of the semiconductor. For example, in the case of the System Advisor Model library, created as described in [3], EgRef and dEgdT for all modules were 1.121 and -0.0002677, respectively. This table of reference bandgap energies (EgRef), bandgap energy temperature dependence (dEgdT), and "typical" airmass response (M) is provided purely as reference to those who may generate their own reference module parameters (a_ref, IL_ref, I0_ref, etc.) based upon the various PV semiconductors. Again, we stress the importance of using identical EgRef and dEgdT when generation reference parameters and modifying the reference parameters (for irradiance, temperature, and airmass) per DeSoto's equations.

If the method is ``'newton'`` then the root-finding Newton-Raphson method is used. It should be safe for well behaved IV-curves, but the ``'brentq'`` method is recommended for reliability. If the method is ``'brentq'`` then Brent's bisection search method is used that guarantees convergence by bounding the voltage between zero and open-circuit. If the method is either ``'newton'`` or ``'brentq'`` and ``ivcurve_pnts`` are indicated, then :func:`pvlib.singlediode.bishop88` [4]_ is used to calculate the points on the IV curve points at diode voltages from zero to open-circuit voltage with a log spacing that gets closer as voltage increases.
