Tracking

SingleAxisTracker

The SingleAxisTracker inherits from PVSystem.

tracking.SingleAxisTracker(**kwargs)

Deprecated since version 0.9.0.

tracking.SingleAxisTracker.singleaxis(…)

Get tracking data.

tracking.SingleAxisTracker.get_irradiance(…)

Uses the irradiance.get_total_irradiance() function to calculate the plane of array irradiance components on a tilted surface defined by the input data and self.albedo.

Functions

tracking.singleaxis(apparent_zenith, …[, …])

Determine the rotation angle of a single-axis tracker when given particular solar zenith and azimuth angles.

tracking.calc_axis_tilt(slope_azimuth, …)

Calculate tracker axis tilt in the global reference frame when on a sloped plane.

tracking.calc_cross_axis_tilt(slope_azimuth, …)

Calculate the angle, relative to horizontal, of the line formed by the intersection between the slope containing the tracker axes and a plane perpendicular to the tracker axes.
