QUESTION
I am interested into retrieving the value of the yearly in plane irradiation via code, given a database of parameters to be taken from the function get_pvgis_hourly, from this parser\getter, as follows:
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Apr-28 at 15:56I suggest getting into the habit of examining the underlying data prior to summarizing it. Oftentimes you will find that the assumptions you had about the data don't hold. Printing and plotting the data are good places to start.
QUESTION
I'm new here and beginner Python user so go easy on me. I used to successfully forecast GHI and ambient temperature using pvlib-python forecasting module with GFS model using get_data() method for more than two years without problems but a week ago (after updating to 0.8.1 version) I'm encountering the following error as an answer from UNIDATA THREDDS server when querying data:

Answered 2021-Apr-25 at 19:23QUESTION
I am working with pvlib.singlediode.calcparams_desoto and I am confused by the following.
In his original masters thesis De Soto proposes equation 4.21 (Page 46) to correct the series resistance for the given irradiation and temperature. However, in the source of calcparams_desoto, the series resistance is not modified, altough irradiation and temperature can have a significant impact on the series resistance (See Figures 4.18 and 4.19, Page 49).
Furthermore, the shunt resistance is corrected for different effective irradiation in the implementation pf pvlib. However, De Soto suggests, that there is no significant impact of irradiation on the shunt resistance (See Equation 4.33, Page 73). After searching the paper for some time, I wasn't able to find another place where this is explained.
What is the reason for those two things being implemented like this?
Thank you very much for your answers!
The page numbers referenced are the actual page numbers of the thesis and not those of the pdf.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Mar-15 at 11:10The pvlib implementation is based on the journal paper that was published 2 years after the thesis and the paper has a somewhat simplified model.
QUESTION
I am using pvlib to calculate diffuse and direct incoming solar radiation at the surface and this works well. I account for clouds, albedo, sea-ice etc. when calculating the total incoming shortwave radiation at the surface.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Dec-02 at 16:26I don't recognize a conceptual error. What do you get when you integrate the spectral direct irradiance? I'd expect to recover the sw_dr broadband value. Something to check. The line of code that calculates uvi looks odd. sw_dr from total_irrad is a Series, sw_dr(λ[280:400]) indicates that sw_dr is a function.
QUESTION
Background
I'm attempting to produce a forecast of solar power using PVLib. I've followed all the instructions on the ReadTheDocs Page and am able to run through the query without issue and produce an output.
Problem
I've specified the timezone 'Australia/Queensland' (+10), however when I look at the export of forecast data, it doesn't appear as if the GFS data has been adjusted for timezone. The Air-Temp and short-wave flux fields in the raw data export still seem to be in UTC time.
Even when I run the 'process_data' class, the air-temp still appears to be incorrect. The calculated irradiance fields (ghi, dni, dhi) appear to line up correctly with timezone, however since these are calculated fields based on cloud cover & solar position, I don't know if they actually used the right inputs.
Requested Help
Anyone know what the issue might be? have I overlooked something, is this a mistake in PVLib, or do I need to adjust for timezone manually before running the process_data class? I've attached my code below if that helps.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jul-30 at 17:49The data returned by the thredds server is always in UTC, and pvlib makes no attempt to localize it based on the timezone of the input start or end parameters. You can adjust the timezone of the raw or the processed data: data = data.tz_convert(tz)
QUESTION
I hope you all are fine.
I got a function (Y axis) that gets values according to a datetime pandas array (X axis) as shown below.
I need to get all the maximum values. Those n maximum values depends on the number of days that are between a start and end pd.timestamp. Then, I also need to save those values in an array; something like this:

QUESTION
I am trying to access forecast data by using the PVLib-Python command model.get_data(longitude, latitude, start, end) or model.get_processed_data(latitude, longitude, start, end) (where model = GFS()) but I am getting this error: TypeError: is not convertible to datetime.
I have already used many versions of the PVLib-Python but hasn't worked though. Also, I checked the official documentation but they present the same error in te document (page 121 to 124 of the paper here https://readthedocs.org/projects/cwhanse-pvlib-python/downloads/pdf/latest/).
Here is some of the basic code:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Apr-26 at 16:48The error occurs in the datetime class, which is in the cftime pacakage. I get the error when I use cftime version 1.1.1.2, whereas when I do not get the error when I use version 1.0.3.4.
The easiest solution is to down grade your cftime pacakge. If your using Anaconda, then running the following command in an Anaconad prompt will do that:

QUESTION
I'm trying to calculate the hour angle for using the PVLIB's function "pvl.solarposition.hour_angle()".
The code that I'm developing is structured in 02 parts:
- First I'm transforming GPS time (seconds of week) in UTC Time formated in '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'. The result obtained here is in UTC time because the GPS time is refering in UTC.
- On second part I try to calculate the hour angle using PVLIB and on this part I'm having problems.
When I'll run the hour angle the python is returning the an error message:
"naive_times = times.tz_localize(None) # naive but still localized AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'tz_localize".
I know that this erros is about the class for variable "final_time" on the code implemented. According the PVLIB documentation this variable is need stay on class pandas.DatetimeIndex (https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/generated/pvlib.solarposition.hour_angle.html) and I dont know transform correctly the GPS time to this class and then, use this result on the PVLIB to compute the hour angle.
Bellow follow part of algorithm that I'm using here on the tests:
...ANSWER
Answered 2019-Jul-11 at 08:48In my approach i use astropy library for converting gps time into date time format. Next convert this time to Datetimeindex with pandas;

QUESTION
I am using PVlib to generate the PV power output of the PV system. Using, the modelchain, I tried to generate the PV power output. The code used for the PV system is given below:
...ANSWER
Answered 2019-Jan-16 at 00:59You're not seeing the variation you're expecting because ModelChain is not able to find irradiance data in your tmy_data and therefore runs the calculation assuming clear sky values.
My guess is that you're using unprocessed TMY data read directly from the read_tmy3 function. If so, you'll need to rename your GHI, DNI, and DHI columns in your tmy_data. ModelChain.run_model requires columns named ghi, dni, dhi, and optionally temp_air and wind_speed.
Also consider shifting your time index by 30 minutes to account for the difference between the measured hourly intervals and the modeled instantaneous solar position.
