- pvlib.irradiance.get_total_irradiance(surface_tilt, surface_azimuth, solar_zenith, solar_azimuth, dni, ghi, dhi, dni_extra=None, airmass=None, albedo=0.25, surface_type=None, model='isotropic', model_perez='allsitescomposite1990')[source]#
Determine total in-plane irradiance and its beam, sky diffuse and ground reflected components, using the specified sky diffuse irradiance model.
\[I_{tot} = I_{beam} + I_{sky diffuse} + I_{ground}\]- Sky diffuse models include:
isotropic (default)
klucher
haydavies
reindl
king
perez
perez-driesse
- Parameters:
surface_tilt (numeric) – Panel tilt from horizontal. [degree]
surface_azimuth (numeric) – Panel azimuth from north. [degree]
solar_zenith (numeric) – Solar zenith angle. [degree]
solar_azimuth (numeric) – Solar azimuth angle. [degree]
dni (numeric) – Direct Normal Irradiance. [W/m2]
ghi (numeric) – Global horizontal irradiance. [W/m2]
dhi (numeric) – Diffuse horizontal irradiance. [W/m2]
dni_extra (numeric, optional) – Extraterrestrial direct normal irradiance. [W/m2]
airmass (numeric, optional) – Relative airmass (not adjusted for pressure). [unitless]
albedo (numeric, default 0.25) – Ground surface albedo. [unitless]
surface_type (str, optional) – Surface type. See
get_ground_diffuse()
for the list of accepted values.model (str, default 'isotropic') – Irradiance model. Can be one of
'isotropic'
,'klucher'
,'haydavies'
,'reindl'
,'king'
,'perez'
,'perez-driesse'
.model_perez (str, default 'allsitescomposite1990') – Used only if
model='perez'
. Seeperez()
.
- Returns:
total_irrad (OrderedDict or DataFrame) – Contains keys/columns
'poa_global', 'poa_direct', 'poa_diffuse', 'poa_sky_diffuse', 'poa_ground_diffuse'
.
Notes
Models
'haydavies'
,'reindl'
,'perez'
and'perez-driesse'
require'dni_extra'
. Values can be calculated usingget_extra_radiation()
.The
'perez'
and'perez-driesse'
models require relative airmass (airmass
) as input. Ifairmass
is not provided, it is calculated using the defaults inget_relative_airmass()
