pvlib.pvsystem.Array.get_cell_temperature#

Array.get_cell_temperature(poa_global, temp_air, wind_speed, model, effective_irradiance=None)[source]#

Determine cell temperature using the method specified by model.

Parameters
  • poa_global (numeric) – Total incident irradiance [W/m^2]

  • temp_air (numeric) – Ambient dry bulb temperature [C]

  • wind_speed (numeric) – Wind speed [m/s]

  • model (str) – Supported models include 'sapm', 'pvsyst', 'faiman', 'fuentes', and 'noct_sam'

  • effective_irradiance (numeric, optional) – The irradiance that is converted to photocurrent in W/m^2. Only used for some models.

Returns

numeric – Values in degrees C.

Notes

Some temperature models have requirements for the input types; see the documentation of the underlying model function for details.
