Description

Calculates solar irradiance on an unobstructed plane, using GhSolar.gha and SolarModel.dll (https://github.com/christophwaibel/GH_Solar_V2)

Inputs

Name ID Description Type
tilt tilt Panel tilt in degree float
azimuth azimuth Panel azimuth in degree float
DHI DHI Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance time series, 8760 values in [W/m²] from a weatherfile. float
DNI DNI Direct Normal Irradiance time series, 8760 values in [W/m²] from a weatherfile. float
latitude latitude Latitude of the location. Default value is for Zurich, Switzerland float
longitude longitude Longitude of the location. Default value is for Zurich, Switzerland float
solarazi solarazi 8760 time series of solar azimuth angles in [°], e.g from a weatherfile. If no data provided, azimuth will be calculated according to Blanco-Muriel (2001). float
