pvfactors.geometry.pvground.PVGround

class pvfactors.geometry.pvground.PVGround(list_segments=None, original_linestring=None)[source]

Class that defines the ground geometry in PV arrays.

__init__(list_segments=None, original_linestring=None)[source]

Initialize PV ground geometry.

Parameters

  • list_segments (list of PVSegment, optional) – List of PV segments that will constitute the ground (Default = [])

  • original_linestring (shapely.geometry.LineString, optional) – Full continuous linestring that the ground will be made of (Default = None)

Methods

__init__([list_segments, original_linestring])

Initialize PV ground geometry.

as_flat([x_min_max, shaded, y_ground, ...])

Build a horizontal flat ground surface, made of 1 PV segment.

from_lists_surfaces(list_shaded_surfaces, ...)

Create ground from lists of shaded and illuminated PV surfaces.

Attributes

boundary

Boundaries of the ground's original linestring.
