ModelChain.run_model_from_effective_irradiance(data=None)[source]¶

Run the model starting with effective irradiance in the plane of array.

Effective irradiance is irradiance in the plane-of-array after any adjustments for soiling, reflections and spectrum.

Parameters: data (DataFrame, default None) – Required column is 'effective_irradiance'. If optional column 'cell_temperature' is provided, these values are used instead of temperature_model. If optional column 'module_temperature' is provided, temperature_model must be 'sapm'.
Returns: self

Notes

Assigns attributes: weather, total_irrad, effective_irradiance, cell_temperature, dc, ac, losses, diode_params (if dc_model is a single diode model).
