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)[source]#

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', 'insulated_back', 'freestanding', 'insulated', and 'semi_integrated'. Used to identify a parameter set for the SAPM or PVsyst cell temperature model. See sapm_module() and pvsyst_cell() for definitions.
module_height (float, optional) – The height above ground of the center of the module [m]. Used for the Fuentes cell temperature model.
