pvlib.pvsystem.FixedMount

class pvlib.pvsystem.FixedMount(surface_tilt: float = 0.0, surface_azimuth: float = 180.0, racking_model: str | None = None, module_height: float | None = None)

Racking at fixed (static) orientation.

Parameters:

• surface_tilt (float, default 0) – Surface tilt angle. The tilt angle is defined as angle from horizontal (e.g. surface facing up = 0, surface facing horizon = 90) [degrees]

• surface_azimuth (float, default 180) – Azimuth angle of the module surface. North=0, East=90, South=180, West=270. [degrees]

• racking_model (str, optional) – Valid strings are ‘open_rack’, ‘close_mount’, and ‘insulated_back’. Used to identify a parameter set for the SAPM cell temperature model.

• module_height (float, optional) – The height above ground of the center of the module [m]. Used for the Fuentes cell temperature model.
