Description

v0.5.0 (August 11, 2017) API Changes
  • Removed parameter w from _calc_d (:issue:344)
  • SingleAxisTracker.get_aoi and SingleAxisTracker.get_irradiance now require surface_zenith and surface_azimuth (:issue:351)
  • Changes calculation of the Incidence Angle Modifier to return 0 instead of np.nan for angles >= 90°. This improves the calculation of effective irradiance close to sunrise and sunset. (:issue:338)
  • Change the default ModelChain orientation strategy from 'south_at_latitude_tilt' to None. (:issue:290)
Bug fixes
  • Method of multi-inheritance has changed to make it possible to use kwargs in the parent classes of LocalizedPVSystem and LocalizedSingleAxisTracker (:issue:330)
  • Fix the __repr__ method of ModelChain, crashing when orientation_strategy is set to 'None' (:issue:352)
  • Fix the ModelChain's angle of incidence calculation for SingleAxisTracker objects (:issue:351)
  • Fix issue with ForecastModel.cloud_cover_to_transmittance_linear method of forecast.py ignoring 'offset' parameter. (:issue:343)
Enhancements
  • Added default values to docstrings of all functions (:issue:336)
  • Added analytical method that calculates solar azimuth angle (:issue:291)
Documentation
  • Added ModelChain documentation page
  • Added nbsphinx to documentation build configuration.
  • Added a pull request template file (:issue:354)
Testing
  • Added explicit tests for aoi and aoi_projection functions.
  • Update test of ModelChain.__repr__ to take in account :issue:352
  • Added a test for solar_azimuth_analytical function.
