pvfactors.geometry.pvrow.TsSegment

class pvfactors.geometry.pvrow.TsSegment(coords, illum_collection, shaded_collection, index=None, n_vector=None)

A TsSegment is a timeseries segment that has a timeseries shaded collection and a timeseries illuminated collection.

__init__(coords, illum_collection, shaded_collection, index=None, n_vector=None)

Initialize timeseries segment using segment coordinates and timeseries illuminated and shaded surfaces.

Parameters

• coords (TsLineCoords) – Timeseries coordinates of full segment

• illum_collection (TsShadeCollection) – Timeseries collection for illuminated part of segment

• shaded_collection (TsShadeCollection) – Timeseries collection for shaded part of segment

• index (int, optional) – Index of segment (Default = None)

• n_vector (np.ndarray, optional) – Timeseries normal vectors of the side (Default = None)

Methods

__init__(coords, illum_collection, ...[, ...])	Initialize timeseries segment using segment coordinates and timeseries illuminated and shaded surfaces.
at(idx)	Generate a PV segment geometry for the desired index.
get_param_weighted(param)	Get timeseries parameter for the segment, after weighting by surface length.
get_param_ww(param)	Get timeseries parameter from the segment's surfaces with weight, i.e. after multiplying by the surface lengths.
plot_at_idx(idx, ax[, color_shaded, color_illum])	Plot timeseries segment at a certain index.
surfaces_at_idx(idx)	Get all PV surface geometries in timeseries segment for a certain index.
update_params(new_dict)	Update timeseries surface parameters of the segment.
