SolarEnergyPy 0.0.2

A package for fundamental information of solar energy.

SolarEnergyPy

About SolarEnergyPy

SolarEnergyPy is for education purpose where one can have fundamental information of solar energy.

Basic Information

• Solar constant.

• Solar position relative to a site on Earth in terms of lattitude, longitude and datetime.

• Instant solar radiation on outer edge of atmosphere as well as beam and diffusion on Earth.

• Spectral radiation map.

Requirements

• Python 3

• Matplotlib is installed.

Documentation

To be continued.

Installation

pip install SolarEnergyPy

Usage

from datetime import datetime

import pendulum

from SolarEnergyPy.solarPosition import solarPosition as sp

from SolarEnergyPy.solarRadiation import solarRadiation as sr



def solar_system_demo(longitude, latitude, dt):



    solar_position = sp(longitude, latitude)

    solar_radiation = sr()

    solar_position.clocktime = dt

    solar_radiation.clocktime = dt



    print(f"Solar Position:{sp.site}")

    print(f"Date-Time: {solar_position._datetime}")

    print(f"Latitude: {solar_position.latitude}")

    print(f"Longitude: {solar_position.longitude}")

    print(f"Declination: {solar_position.declination}")

    print(f"Solar Azimuth: {solar_position.solar_azimuth}")

    print(f"Solar Zenith: {solar_position.zenith}")



    print("\nSolar Radiation:")

    beam, diffuse = solar_radiation.solar_radiation_at()

    print(f"Beam Radiation: {beam} W/m^2")

    print(f"Diffuse Radiation: {diffuse} W/m^2")



if __name__ == '__main__':

    longitude = 112

    latitude = 31

    dt = pendulum.now('Asia/Shanghai')

    solar_system_demo(longitude, latitude, dt)
