Usage

In this library you'll find the following actions, which allow you to retrieve different historical data regarding photovoltaic production.

• GetDailyRadiationRetrieves the average 24-hour profile of solar irradiance for a chosen month. It shows how sunlight intensity rises and falls throughout a typical day, useful for understanding daily power curves.

• GetEstimatedOffGridProductionSimulates a standalone solar-plus-battery system to estimate performance reliability. It calculates metrics like the number of days the battery will go empty (E_miss) or full (E_lost), essential for designing remote systems without grid access.

• GetEstimatedPVProductionCalculates the expected electricity generation of a standard grid-connected PV system. It returns daily, monthly, and yearly energy averages (kWh), taking into account panel tilt, orientation, and system losses.

• GetHorizonProfileGenerates a 360-degree map of the horizon line at a specific location. It identifies obstacles (like mountains or buildings) and calculates when they will block the sun, which is critical for shading analysis.

• GetHourlyRadiationProvides a raw time-series of solar irradiance and weather data for every specific hour over a selected historical period. This is the granular data used for advanced, custom solar modeling and research.

• GetMonthlyRadiationReturns long-term monthly averages of solar irradiation (H) and temperature (T) over several years. It is used for high-level site assessment to see how sunny a location is across different seasons.

• GetTypicalMeteorologicalYearConstructs a synthetic dataset representing a "standard" year of climate data (8,760 hours). It stitches together the most representative months from historical records to create a baseline file for solar simulations.
