pvlib.iotools.get_pvgis_horizon(latitude, longitude, url='https://re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/api/', **kwargs)[source]#

Get horizon data from PVGIS.

Parameters:

latitude (float) – Latitude in degrees north
longitude (float) – Longitude in degrees east
url (str, default: pvlib.iotools.pvgis.URL) – Base URL for PVGIS
kwargs – Passed to requests.get

Returns:

data (pd.Series) – Pandas Series of the retrieved horizon elevation angles. Index is the corresponding horizon azimuth angles.

Notes

The horizon azimuths are specified clockwise from north, e.g., south=180. This is the standard pvlib convention, although the PVGIS website specifies south=0.
