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 or tuple of numeric) – Total incident irradiance in W/m^2.
temp_air (numeric or tuple of numeric) – Ambient dry bulb temperature in degrees C.
wind_speed (numeric or tuple of numeric) – Wind speed in m/s.
model (str) – Supported models include
'sapm'
,'pvsyst'
,'faiman'
,'fuentes'
, and'noct_sam'
effective_irradiance (numeric or tuple of numeric, optional) – The irradiance that is converted to photocurrent in W/m^2. Only used for some models.
- Returns
numeric or tuple of numeric – Values in degrees C.

Notes
The temp_air and wind_speed parameters may be passed as tuples to provide different values for each Array in the system. If passed as a tuple the length must be the same as the number of Arrays. If not passed as a tuple then the same value is used for each Array.
