Temperature Model Parameters

pvlib.temperature.TEMPERATURE_MODEL_PARAMETERS

Dictionary of temperature parameters organized by model.

There are keys for each model at the top level. Currently there are two models, 'sapm' for the Sandia Array Performance Model, and 'pvsyst'. Each model has a dictionary of configurations; a value is itself a dictionary containing model parameters. Retrieve parameters by indexing the model and configuration by name. Note: the keys are lower-cased and case sensitive.

Example

Retrieve the open rack glass-polymer configuration for SAPM:

from pvlib.temperature import TEMPERATURE_MODEL_PARAMETERS
temperature_model_parameters = (
    TEMPERATURE_MODEL_PARAMETERS['sapm']['open_rack_glass_polymer'])
# {'a': -3.56, 'b': -0.075, 'deltaT': 3}
