pvlib.pvsystem.PVSystem.faiman_celltemp

PVSystem.faiman_celltemp(poa_global, temp_air, wind_speed=1.0)[source]

Use temperature.faiman() to calculate cell temperature.

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

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

  • wind_speed (numeric, default 1.0) – Wind speed in m/s measured at the same height for which the wind loss factor was determined. The default value 1.0 m/s is the wind speed at module height used to determine NOCT. [m/s]

Returns

numeric, values in degrees C.
