pvlib.pvsystem.Array.get_cell_temperature#

Array.get_cell_temperature(poa_global, temp_air, wind_speed, model, effective_irradiance=None, longwave_down=None)[source]#

Determine cell temperature using the method specified by model.

Parameters:

poa_global (numeric) – Total incident irradiance [W/m^2]
temp_air (numeric) – Ambient dry bulb temperature [C]
wind_speed (numeric) – Wind speed [m/s] When model='ross', this input is ignored
model (str) – Supported models include 'sapm', 'pvsyst', 'faiman', 'faiman_rad', 'fuentes', 'noct_sam', and 'ross'
effective_irradiance (numeric, optional) – The irradiance that is converted to photocurrent in W/m^2. Only used for some models.
longwave_down (numeric, optional) – Downwelling long-wave radiation from the sky, measured on a horizontal surface in W/m^2. Only used in 'faiman_rad' model.

Returns:

numeric – Values in degrees C.
