pvlib.location.Location.get_clearsky

Location.get_clearsky(times, model='ineichen', solar_position=None, dni_extra=None, **kwargs)

Calculate the clear sky estimates of GHI, DNI, and/or DHI at this location.

Parameters:

• times (DatetimeIndex)

• model (str, default 'ineichen') – The clear sky model to use. Must be one of ‘ineichen’, ‘haurwitz’, ‘simplified_solis’.

• solar_position (DataFrame, optional) – DataFrame with columns ‘apparent_zenith’, ‘zenith’, ‘apparent_elevation’.

• dni_extra (numeric, optional) – If not specified, will be calculated from times.

• kwargs – Extra parameters passed to the relevant functions. Climatological values are assumed in many cases. See source code for details!

Returns:

clearsky (DataFrame) – Column names are: ghi, dni, dhi.
