pvlib.modelchain.ModelChain.run_model_from_poa

ModelChain.run_model_from_poa(data)

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

Data must include direct, diffuse and total irradiance (W/m2) in the plane of array. Reflections and spectral adjustments are made to calculate effective irradiance (W/m2).

Parameters

data (DataFrame) – Required column names include 'poa_global', 'poa_direct' and 'poa_diffuse'. If optional columns 'temp_air' and 'wind_speed' are not provided, air temperature of 20 C and wind speed of 0 m/s are assumed. 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: solar_position, airmass, weather, total_irrad, aoi, aoi_modifier, spectral_modifier, and effective_irradiance, cell_temperature, dc, ac, losses, diode_params (if dc_model is a single diode model).
