pvfactors.geometry.pvrow.PVRow

class pvfactors.geometry.pvrow.PVRow(front_side=<pvfactors.geometry.pvrow.PVRowSide object>, back_side=<pvfactors.geometry.pvrow.PVRowSide object>, index=None, original_linestring=None)[source]

A PV row is made of two PV row sides, a front and a back one.

__init__(front_side=<pvfactors.geometry.pvrow.PVRowSide object>, back_side=<pvfactors.geometry.pvrow.PVRowSide object>, index=None, original_linestring=None)[source]

Initialize PV row.

Parameters

front_side (PVRowSide, optional) – Front side of the PV Row (Default = Empty PVRowSide)
back_side (PVRowSide, optional) – Back side of the PV Row (Default = Empty PVRowSide)
index (int, optional) – Index of PV row (Default = None)
original_linestring (shapely.geometry.LineString, optional) – Full continuous linestring that the PV row will be made of (Default = None)

Methods

`__init__`([front_side, back_side, index, ...])	Initialize PV row.
`from_center_tilt_width`(xy_center, tilt, ...)	Create a PV row using mainly the coordinates of the line center, a tilt angle, and its length.
`from_linestring_coords`(coords[, shaded, ...])	Create a PV row with a single PV surface and using linestring coordinates.
`plot`(ax[, color_shaded, color_illum, with_index])	Plot the surfaces of the PV Row.
`update_params`(new_dict)	Update surface parameters for both front and back sides.

Attributes

`all_surfaces`	List of all the surfaces in the PV row.
`boundary`	Boundaries of the PV Row's orginal linestring.
`highest_point`	Highest point of the PV Row.
`lowest_point`	Lowest point of the PV Row.
`surface_indices`	List of all surface indices in the PV Row.
